Congratulations to all our winners!
I am relatively new to miniature wargaming, and just finished “The Wargaming Compendium”, so finding this website is a godsend. I have played Memoir 44 numerous times and really love it. I recently picked up Command and Colors Napoleonics, so I guess I am on the right track.
I have a great deal of new stuff to check out.
Thank you for some guidelines.
Thanks for stopping by, John, and welcome to our wonderful hobby. Thanks for buying the book and you may find the regular magazines like Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy, Wargames Illustrated and Miniature Wargames to be useful sources of up-to-date information too.
Thank you for the advice. I really liked your tips on creating different battles. I have a bunch of 10mm ACW figures to be painted and I would love to use for a game for some of the smaller battles: for example Corinth or Brices Crossroads. I just need time and a quick kick in the ____.
Although not my first “off the top of my head” choices, I’d agree with most of those.
Jolly good, Paul
