Other people's Portable Wargames

It is some time since I managed to put together a selection of other people's PORTABLE WARGAMEs ... and there are some stunning and inspiring examples out there that need to be better know,

Emeritus Professor Charles Esdaile

The first picture shows an action between Romans and Caledones, ...

... the second one between Romans and Sarmatians, ...

... and the third one between French and British forces in Canada in 1759.

The battlefields are sheets of green-coloured foam card, and the scenery and figures were copied from the Junior-General site.

Mike Lewis

Mike Lewis put on a demonstration of the rules at the Cavalier wargame show using his wonderful 54mm glossy toy soldiers and MDF terrain ... including the marvelous Fort Pippin!

Larry Casey

Larry has been fighting a campaign set in Sicily and southwestern tip of Italy since the end of January.

He based his campaign on Mark Cordone's HOPLITE 3 x 3 Portable Wargame system. To date he has fought a battle near Syracuse, ...

... the Battle of Zancle, ...

... a naval battle off Gela, ...

... the Battle of Akragas, ...

... the Battle of Cumae, ...

... the Battle of Heraclea, ...

... and the Battle of Katane.
