A truly portable Portable Wargame

Last week, Daniel Weitz wrote a post on the Portable Wargame Facebook page about a portable ‘wargame in a box’ version of Mark Cordone’s recently developed HOPLITE Portable Wargame mini-campaign … and I was very impressed!

Daniel had created his boxed game using his 3D printer, and he has now added the printer files to the relevant part of the group Facebook page. From what I can gather, I was not the only person who was impressed with Daniel’s game and I understand that at least one other wargamer has 3D printed their own game.

I never cease to be impressed by the way in which other wargamers have taken my simple game concept and turned it into something incredible! May this long continue!


Since I wrote this blog post, Daniel has now produced a boxed version of the PORTABLE NAPOLEONIC WARGAME ... which is even more impressive!

Daniel made the following point in a caption under the above photograph:

By standing the tiles on edge you have a 'Fog of War' as there are blanks. Artillery, cavalry and guns are of a slightly different size so that 'in the distance it looks like some horse, some foot and 'probably some guns' ... The French cannot see whether the British units are Elite, Line, Blanks or Poor until they start to move.’
