Nugget 382: A bonus issue!

After a discussion with the editor of THE NUGGET, we decided to publish a tenth (and bonus) issue for the 2025-2026 subscription year. By doing this, all the articles that relate to COW2025, VCOW2025, and the AVG (Autumn Virtual Gathering) would be in print during that year.

The editor sent me the latest issue of THE NUGGET just before I went on my recent cruise, and I sent it to the printer (Macauley Scott Printing Company, Welling, Kent) before I left. It is ready for me to collect and I hope post it out to members of Wargame Developments next weekend.

Nugget 378: An apology

As regular blog readers will know, I recently posted out the latest issue on THE NUGGET to members of Wargame Developments. It was not until last Friday that I was made aware that it contained a major printing error that both the printer and I had missed; namely, that half the pages had been printed upside down and in the reverse order!

The printer is already re-printing the issue and I hope to collect it later today, and I will post it to members with the next issue – NUGGET 379 – during early April.

I apologise for this mistake. It was avoidable – I should have checked them before I posted them out – and I have learned my lesson … as has the printer!


This is only the second time in forty-six years that there has been a problem with the production of THE NUGGET. The first time was back in the very early years when the then editor – the late Dr Paddy Griffith – sent me the original text by post … and the Royal Mail ‘lost’ it! Because he had not made a copy, he had to reproduce it entirely from scratch.

This was before the era of personal computers and THE NUGGET was put together using a typewriter to produce the text in columns which were then glued to sheets of paper that were photocopied and manually collated and stapled by me.

Wow! It was a very labour-intensive operation back then!
