Rudi Geudens – The Universal General

If you have never heard of Rudi Geudens or have never visited his website – The Universal General – you have been missing out.

Rudi is a Belgian wargamer and wargame designer par excellence, and I often visit his website to get a bit of inspiration when mine is beginning to flag. Today was such a day … and during my latest visit I discovered that Rudi and his group have begun work on a very interesting campaign set in the late 1930s. It is similar to the one that is currently very popular in the UK – A Very British Civil War – but is set in Belgium.

‘To Arms!’ examines what might have happened if Belgium had had a similar constitutional crisis, and as is typical of everything that Rudi does, it comes with an excellent background booklet.

Rudi has lots of different free wargames rules available via his other website, The Antwerp Fusiliers. Many of these rules use a hexed grid or Hexon II hexes – hence my particular interest in his wargames designs – and are based on developed versions of Richard Borg’s BATTLE CRY rules.

Pictures of one of the battles fought as part of Rudi's Afriboria Campaign using his hex-based Colonial wargames rules.
