Hi Don - I just saw your post.
I live in West Hartford, CT - less than an hour from Springfield - and although I am primarily an Ancients gamer, I own the rules and have been getting into Lasalle a bit. I have a 15mm French army ready to play with, and I have a bunch of unpainted lead for a Russian one that I do plan to complete someday. I'd be happy to game some day, but in addition, there is a group of historical gamers that meet in the Hartford area, usually a couple of times of month, at the Time Machine Hobby Shop in Manchester, CT. There is a Yahoo forum where people schedule games and such - you might consider joining that and posting for games there. In addition to myself, I know that there are at least several other guys with armies suitable for Lasalle. Some have 15mm armies, some 25mm, and some both. Myself, I am just a 15/18mm player for Napoleonics.

Hope to hear from you soon.
