The final article for the next Portable Wargame Compendium has arrived and I spent yesterday adding it to the draft text. I will be sending off for proofreading later today and once any errors have been rectified, I start the publication process.
The Third Compendium is going to include the following articles:
- Modifications to the Ancients rules in Developing the Portable Wargame for fighting medieval battles
- Constantinople Beleaguered ... a PW3x3RW campaign idea
- A simple English Civil War campaign system for Portable Pike and Shot
- Simple English Civil War 8 x 8 Campaign Rules
- Some suggested improvements to the Brigade-level Portable Napoleonic Wargame Rules
- Developing the Napoleonic Brigade-level Portable Wargame
- Ideas for developing the Portable Napoleonic Big Battle or FP3x3PW Rules
- Wargaming the Flagstaff War – New Zealand 1845 – 1846
- Towards a Portable Gettysburg
- Sham-Battle and the Portable Wargame: Melding two concepts to produce a set of mini-campaign rules
- Some well-known scenarios revisited
- Big Battles, Small Armies
- A simple framework for narrative campaigns
- 6 x 6 Portable Wargames
This looks as if it is going to be between 130 and 140 pages long ... and I hope that it will be published by the end of August.
