Reading history and playing a wargame is my escape from the day-to-day stresses of modern living and it is what this site is about. However, be aware and forewarned that an occasional cat picture might well appear. Because these furry shapes provide me with so much joy and inspiration. Also, they usually want to be involved in all I do. A furry shape stretched across the battlefield has blocked many paths to victory.
My wargaming is eclectic, and I am a rules magpie. However, the ancient and medieval periods lie at the heart of my gaming. Nevertheless, I am a sucker for games involving pulp fiction and superheroes. Fantasy is the last major component in wargaming, but I will wander off to anything that takes my fancy. Whatever the period or genre, I like a narrative to my games, so I am inclined towards campaigns, some homemade and some bought. This narrative aspect is one of the reasons for this blog to tell my stories and to share my experience in this great hobby.
The blog will recounts this solo wargamer’s campaigns and adventures. I will link each episode in a campign together, so the reader can, if strong enough can, follow the project from inception to the end. I will also added some rules and scenarios as my gaming progresses. The last element of this blog is the workbench, where I discuss rules and occasionally figures.
I hope you enjoy what you find here. If you do please leave a comment.
