about us
The Amsterdam6shooters are a friendly and open wargame club in Amsterdam, established in 2014. We meet (at least) every 2nd Saturday and 4th Sunday of the month in our clubhouse very near the Muiderpoort station in Amsterdam-East, from 13-18 o’clock (or later) . Check our events calendar.
We focus on miniature wargaming and tactical and strategic board(war)games. We’re a social club for social gamers. Minimum age is 16. We laugh, have fun, throw dice, drink beer and conquer lands. We have armies. We have scenery. You can wargame against us even if you don’t have the miniatures. Tactical instinct is the only thing you really need.
We’re not a youth club. The majority of our members are 25 years or older and have been playing (board)wargames for years. We have a core membership group of about 60 regulars and 10-15 irregular visitors, who play sometimes and pay an entrance fee.
the games we play
The club is interested in all kinds of games related to minatures and strategy and all historical and non-historical periods and themes and GW games. We started as a mostly historical wargames club and in 2018 merged with the Amsterdam 40K-club ‘Amsterdam Battle Brothers’.
Thus, we have two distinct branches that happily play together. Half of our tables are filled with hoplites, cuirassiers or Sherman tanks. If you like Black Powder, Bolt Action, De Bellis Antiquitatis, Blücher, Frostgrave, or Flames of War, X-Wing and Infinity, come in! At our other tables you can play 40k against our passionate 40K and Killteam-veterans.
We organize 40k-matches and tournaments and bigger historical multiplayer games. We also sometimes play dungeon crawlers with miniatures, like Zombicide, Conan or Imperial Assault, and irregularly have tried boardwargames like Command & Colours, Memoir ’44 or Heroes of Normandie.
cheap fun so join the club!
We don’t play general or family board games or role playing games, however. We recommend boardgame clubs (see this list). Membership/ entrance fee Membership fee per calendar year is 50,- per annum. Non-members who join a table pay nothing the first time, 2 euro the second time and after two visits the regular 8 euro entrance fee.
If you only want to look around, we charge nothing. Nada. Niente. You’re welcome (yes, we’re mad). We serve free lunch and spicey snack food, and our bar is cheap (nearly all drinks under 1,50 euro). Bringing your own drinks is not allowed, however. Come and beat us, and if you can’t beat us – join us!
