Today we meet every other Thursday and there are never more than five of us. The hobby shop is filled with people playing fantasy wargames and roll-playing games, but the historical stuff seems to be dying out.

Yes, that's true...I only know one buddy, who has in general interest about (modern) history and with whom I can discuss related topics.
Luckily, in the board gaming sector, in the last couple of years a couple of solitaire games came out, which make a lot of fun....usually I am not a WWII subsim fan but
U-Boat Leader together with the fan-made tactical expansion I can strongly recommend. There are also other WWII solitaire boardgames available, with a more strategic setting.
Concerning subsims in general: crowdfunding or the approach, which the warfaresim.com guys took...
