The Second Portable Wargame Compendium ... is almost ready!

The final draft of the Compendium has been proofread, the text has been uploaded to KDP (Kindle Direct Publishing), and the cover has been designed ...

... and now all I am waiting for is the final printed proof copy to be delivered. Once that happens, I hope to be able to publish the Compendium within a matter of days.

The Second Compendium has 132 pages compared to the 108 pages in the First Compendium. The softback will cost £20.00, an increase of £5.00 from the price of the First Compendium, to take into account the increased number of pages as well as the increased cost of printing.
