Wargaming my way. Miniature Wargames.

It has been many years since I last had an article published in the wargames press. In those days I was quite prolific for a while and wrote articles on such diverse subjects as the 1st Opium War, The Gwalior and Sind campaigns in 1840's India, the Mesopotamian campaign in 1914-15 and the US-Mexican War of 1846-48.

Now with time on my hands I floated the idea for my take on 'Wargaming my way' just before Henry left MW, and submitted the article to the new editor John Treadaway shortly after he took over. Issue 407 of MW dropped on my doormat today complete with my efforts.

I'm not going to say any more but hope readers find it an interesting article. It is meant as a positive message of thanks to all my wargaming friends over the years.

  2. I haven't read a wargames mag in the last five years, but I think I'll be making an exception with this issue.
