Today I will be taking part in the online Wargame Developments Autumn Virtual Gathering. This annual online event has been taking place since October 2021, and is open to all members of Wargame Developments.
My contribution will be a talk entitled THE MYTH THAT HAS DEVELOPED AROUND THE WESTERN APPROACHES TACTICAL UNIT (WATU) and is a revised version of the one I delivered at the Conference of Wargamers 2026 (COW2026).
Good luck, Bob - hope it goes well!

DeleteThe AVG went well, and my contribution seemed to be well received, although it was a bit rushed towards the end.
All the best,
Bob
It was a fascinating talk, and needed at least the time-slot you were given, to do its subject justice. Since it was not just a matter of describing the game(s) and organisers/players, but also summarising the wider context of the Battle of the Atlantic to set it in context. It's the sort of thing which could well be worked up into an article for e.g. the "MORS Journal of Wargaming". Bravo!
DeleteToby E,
DeleteThanks very much for your kind comments.
You are the second person to suggest that I write my research up for MORS … and it’s something that I am seriously considering.
All the best,
Bob
