| Introduction | I have been wargaming now for fifty years. Most of the time it has been solo wargaming, but over the years I have had a regular opponent or two, or been a member of a club. I have dabbled in the main periods and rules, but for now my "normal" wargame interest is 25mm 1670s Western Europe (The Early Wars of Louis XIV) and 15mm ECW/30YW, along with American Civil War. However, I also have three "imagination" campaigns based upon 25mm 14th-15th Century Western European Medieval/Fantasy (the Continent of Petaudia), 25mm 1805-15 Napoleonic (the Continent of Fescennia), and 25mm Future/Sci-fi (the World Of Avrupan). I also have 25mm AWI French who sometimes appear at my local club. I also collect books on wargaming and old sets of wargame rules. |
