Years ago I used to play tabletop RPG games. One time I met a guy and we became friends. We've seen each other on the weekly gaming sessions but every now and then he was unavailable due to other arrangements. At some point I learned he was spending some weekends with his disabled neighbor playing various card games and (pardon lack of specific language) some warhammer figure like strategies. I said I would like to be a part of those sessions and eventually we formed an unusual "fellowship". Few years later when the disabled boy passed away, his mother said that these weekends were what kept him going.
Somebody may correct me, but I believe "wargaming" is the term you were looking for
