Armies on the Cheap
After wargaming for about 58 years I’m now considering several issues when thinking about new projects. One is how much use I might get from a new pair of armies – I only wargame with others a couple of times a month, perhaps the same for solo games. I also have very arthritic fingers so […]
Your Input is Requested
In a comment on “50 Years“, Carl noted that he finds “. . . the blog, (and its differentiating between posts and comments) quite uninspiring and sometimes over complex to follow compared to say the Society of Ancients Forum or the DBA Fanaticus forum, or the now defunct Society of Twentieth Century Wargamers . .

A Bad Start to the Year!
In the lead-up to Christmas I placed an order for several books from the UK, the most anticipated being three of Charles Grant’s scenario books based on his Imagi-Nations campaign, one of which covered detailed mechanics for a siege. Needless to say, I was checking the letterbox on a daily basis about a week after […]
