The Second Portable Wargame Compendium

I have decided to begin putting THE SECOND PORTABLE WARGAME COMPENDIUM together. I already have a couple of chapters of my own sketched out and I’ve had promises of chapters from some of the people who contributed to the earlier compendium.

I’ll be writing regular blog posts about the progress that I make, but my plan is to have the compendium ready for publication by Easter … so if you are interested in what will be in the next compendium, keep reading this blog regularly!

      I’m already about halfway through writing one of my contributions.

      Hi Bob,
      What very good news. Hopefully there will be plenty on 3x3 in the new book.
      All the best

      Steve,

      I hope that there will be quite a variety of contributions, including quite a few 3 x 3 ones.

      All the best,

      I am planning to include them, along with some simple campaign rules.

      Martin S.,

      I've already written one chapter myself about making 10cm square terrain tiles and have several other ideas that I want to include. I've also had several offers of contributions, so things look as if they are going to come together over the next month or two.

      All the best,

      Bob

    Hi Bob. Is the WW2 Operational game the next in line?

    Kind regards

      Simon,

      I've already drafted some basic ideas for a set of WW2 Operational-level rules for the Eastern Front/Great Patriotic War, and hope to work on them as and when the mood take me.

      All the best,

      Bob

    Great stuff Bob, the first compendium had loads of interesting ideas ( and a set of 18th Century rules, I seem to remember(!) ), so I'm sure a second will have plenty more of interest. Good luck with the project!

      David in Suffolk,

      I’m looking for contributions, especially from those who helped make the first Compendium such a success.

      All the best,

      Stephen Smith,

      Thanks for your kind words.

      I am hoping that it will be even better than the first Compendium.

      All the best,

      Bob
