Developing The Portable Wargame: The printed proof copies have arrived!

The printed proof copies of DEVELOPING THE PORTABLE WARGAME have arrived, and once a few final checks have been made I can proceed to full publication in the very near future ... which will probably now be early July.

The book has 128 pages and contains 82 illustrations that include black and white photographs, explanatory diagrams, and maps. The contents are as follows:

• Introduction
• Pinning and Unpinning Units
• The Two Kills Option
• Army Lists, Balanced, and Unbalanced Forces
• Big Board – and Small Board – Gridded Wargames

When the book is finally published, the various versions will be priced as follows:

This is slightly more that the cost of THE PORTABLE WARGAME and reflects the fact that it has 16% more pages.
