Since mentioning Peter of Grid Based Wargaming – but not always blog on my blog, he has uploaded a battle report of a wargame fought using his magnificent ‘wargame in a matchbox’ American Civil War ironclads naval wargame.
I hope that my regular blog readers will follow the links to Peter's blog and read his wonderful battle report.
Maudlin Jack Tar has also designed a ‘wargame in a matchbox’ and has written a very extensive blog entry about it on his blog, Projects and Procrastination.
He took his inspiration from Archduke Piccolo’s recent Fast Play 3 x 3 Portable Wargame Roman Civil War campaign and the results are stunning … as the following photographs show.
This informal competition has produced some wonderful designs … and I have a feeling that there are more to come!
Please note that the photographs shown above are © Peter of the Grid Based Wargaming – but not always blog and Maudlin Jack Tar.

All the best,
