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

    1. 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

    1. 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

  6. 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!

      Thanks for your kind words.

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

      All the best,
