You could try MySpace. Right now I’m just gathering aquaintences and my brother to recruit gamers. I’d like to eventually build an informal f2f club with people I know. It sounds crappy but I hate playing ‘pick-up’ games at the hobby shop although ‘friend-of-a-friend’s’ doesn’t bother me.
Another way to get players is to get people you know who play other games, and intro them to A&A. Back in the the day a group of us were playing Starcraft or Starfleet on the Sega Gennesis and I had a copy of A&A and intro’d it. Since then just about everyone who played still plays. Now we’re just grown-up and spread all over the country.
The group me and my bro are looking to start has a bunch of Magic players and people who like Settlers, AD&D, etc.
It’s just my opinion but that’s the best way to go. If you have an A&A classic game (I have two) you can use that to train noobs. I’d suggest going for a monthly schedule too. My friends are all busy with work, kids, etc. and one Sunday or Saturday a month is do-able.
I eventually plan to make a Myspace site for our group so we can keep track of everything and keep in touch.
Hopefully these suggestions will help. Good Luck.
