Who am I?

I'm an old school wargamer, as it says above. I learned to play wargames in High School back in 1970. I played D&D when it only had 3 books and they came in a little box. I've played board games, miniatures, RPGs, and for a few years in the late 70's and early 80's I got to play wargames in Uncle Sam's Yacht Club. I enjoyed all of them.

I'm easy enough to please. If the game is fun, I don't care what color the buttons on the Guards figures or counters are. I'll play most any period, from Stone Age men through Napoleon and on into Star Wars.

On a personal note, I'm a grandfather of a 3 year old baby girl. I have a son and a daughter. Been married about to hit 30 years.

I DO NOT discuss politics or religion in polite company and won't have them discussed here, save in how they relate to a particular game. Play nice, don't cheat, don't break the rule about politics and religion, and we can have a great time here.

What we will be doing here

I had neglected this blog literally for years. So now I cleared it out and will use it to discuss wargaming.

I will be writing my thoughts on the hobby, I will post AARs (After Action Reports for the uninitiated)  and campaign notes.

I can be flighty, I may change gears and go off on a new project at any moment if something catches my attention. I almost always return to continue things I've left behind, so try to hang in there.

I play lots of periods, lots of levels, ,and lots of rules. My current favorite sets come from Two Hour Wargaming. An excellent collection of rule sets, and great customer service. Give them a look see.
