Wargames societies dedicated to specific periods or genres are a well established idea in wargaming circles with the likes of the Society of Ancients, Society of Twentieth Century Wargamers and Naval Wargames Society well established.
All these groups work on a subscription basis with members paying an annual fee to join and a group of volunteers producing a society journal which is posted out to the membership.
Unfortunately air wargaming does not have a dedicated society where interested gamers can share ideas and material, or to promote the genre. Air wargaming is just seen an adjunct of existing (land warfare dominated) periods covered by the likes of the SOTCW or SFSFW.
This is now changing with the creation of the Air Wargames Society (AirWarSoc) for wargamers interested air wargaming, whatever period or scale - if it flies and fights, it's in!
Unlike other societies it is free to join and is internet based using Yahoo Groups, Blogger and/or Facebook for gamers to get involved as much or as little as they wish.
