Backfilling the Portable Wargame


At long last!

Despite being an avid fan of the Portable Wargame series I am embarrassed to say that I have somewhat remiss in engaging with the Compendiums. In short, up until around six months ago I did not own any of them! The first edition I received was kindly donated to me by my old friend Nick Huband and this was a hardback copy of the third compendium.

Fast forward to Father’s Day this year and courtesy of two Amazon gift cards from the offspring, I duly rectified this shortcoming and purchased the original compendium as well as the second.

There is plenty of reading material for me to get my teeth into but I figure that most readers will already know that! As a penance for this oversight I will have to pen a couple of articles for the fourth compendium….

Dead chuffed and getting even more inspired, especially by the 3 x 3 variants!

Hi Mark,

You are absolutely right - I am only sorry it has taken me this long to get to them!

All the best,

Splendid! Enthusiasm in absence is still enthusiasm, and now transformed into enthusiasm realised!

G’Day Paul,

I am really pleased to have gotten these two as there are some cracking ideas contained in the pages. I am very much a fan of the Portable Wargame series and am especially taken with the 3 x 3 format.

Better late than never methinks!

All the best,

DC
