Wargaming

Wargaming and Military History are the interests I pour most of my spare time into. This section concentrates on the wargaming rules I’m interested in. I’ve got quite a lot on running wargaming campaigns. I’ve also got sub-categories on: Crossfire, DBx (including DBA and HOTT), Twilight of the Sun King, Engle Matrix Games, Megablitz, Liberators QPR, Field of Glory. All other rules are lumped together.

DBA for the New Zealand Wars

14 Aug 201321 Feb 2001 by Steven Thomas

Wargaming the Battle for Ohaeawai Pa

6 Aug 201321 Feb 2001 by Steven Thomas

Attempting to wargame the Battle for Ohaeawai Pa brings you face to face with the Challenges of Wargaming the New Zealand Wars, even more than the Battle for Puketutu Pa does.
