George will be taking some time off after some tragic family news. We'll still be here working away, so do stay tuned.

This morning I received some of the worst news I have ever had, I will be stepping away from social media and the UK Defence Journal for a few days. The team will continue but please don't be alarmed at a drop or slowdown in output.

Playtesting Take That Island, our entry level maritime analogue game with a team of gamers and designers. This is a fantastic team effort to help more people get into maritime wargaming.

"Arts and crafts" is a key element of manual wargaming, and also quite enjoyable, especially when teaching skills to the younger generations :)

Wargaming-based "requirement elucidation" via wargaming last night. One of our design teams is working on a carrier this year. Learning the fun way why placing your E2 close to the enemy's CAP with your own fighter a hundred Mike's away isn't a good thing 😀

Peter Perla, the pioneer of professional #wargaming, passed away last night. Peter indelibly shaped the wargaming profession - from writing the seminal book on wargaming to leading the field for decades. He will be terribly missed - both as a colleague, mentor, and friend.
