The Hertfordshire Masters? Lodge was formed in 1920, and many of
its Worshipful Masters and Brethren served in the armed forces
before, during, and after the Second World War. This book serves as
a record of the military careers of some of those Brethren, and it
is appropriate that it should be published eighty years after the
start of that war.
The author has been a confirmed colonial wargamer for over forty
years, and took part in the famous Madasahatta Campaign that was
run by the late Eric Knowles. This interest has grown over the
years, and has finally resulting in the writing of this book.
Please note that all the rules have been designed to be used with a
gridded tabletop made up of squares or hexes. This book has
fourteen chapters, two sets of rules, two exemplar battle reports,
two appendices, a list of sources of inspiration, and over one
hundred and ten illustrations.
The Hertfordshire Masters' Lodge was formed in 1920, and many of
its Founders, early Worshipful Masters, and Brethren served in the
armed forces before and during the Great War. This book serves as a
record of the military careers of some of those Brethren, and it is
appropriate that it should be published in the centenary year of
the end of that terrible war.

This solo mini-campaign was inspired by FINLAND AT WAR: THE WINTER
WAR 1939-40 by Vesa Nenye, and saw two imagi-nations, Opeland
(which stood in for Finland) and the all-powerful Soviet People's
United Republics or SPUR (which stood in for the Soviet Union)
fighting each other over the position of the border between the two
countries and possession of the city of Viputa. An early version of
the author's THE PORTABLE WARGAME rules was used to fight the
tabletop battles, and the figures, models, and terrain all came
from his extensive collections.
This solo mini-campaign was inspired involvement of Great Britain
in Egypt and the Sudan during the latter part of the nineteenth
century. It involves the imagi-nations of Britannia (Great
Britain), Fezia (Ottoman Turkey), and Zubia (Egypt), and sees
Britannia interfering in the affairs of Zubia, a semi-independent
province of the Fezian Empire. An early precursor to the author's
THE PORTABLE WARGAME rules was used to fight the tabletop battles,
and the figures, models, and terrain all came from his extensive
collections.

Although the author is a late convert to the joys of Napoleonic
wargaming, he soon began to see why so many wargamers love the
period. As a result, he set out to write several sets of rules that
would use similar game mechanisms to those in his other PORTABLE
WARGAME rules, and that would enable him to fight a range of small,
medium, and large battles on a relatively small tabletop. This book
is the result. Please note that all the rules have been designed to
be used with a gridded tabletop made up of squares or hexes.
This book follows on from 'The Portable Wargame' and 'Developing
The Portable Wargame' to cover naval wargames that can be fought on
a gridded tabletop. The book contains six sets of rules (three of
which are from the 'Portable Naval Wargame' stable), four
explanatory battle reports, and a chapter that explains 'How to
...' build simple model American Civil War ironclads. Aimed mainly
at the wargamer who wants to include aspects of naval warfare in
their wargames, it is suitable for both novice and experienced
wargamers.
The plot of this thriller arose from the research the author
undertook when planning a simulation about a terrorist attack on
London. The more he researched, the more the author realised how
easy it would be to plant a dirty bomb in a location where it would
communicate a message, a message to the people of the Great Britain
that they were no longer a world power. It also became obvious that
despite intensive planning and preparation, the various organs of
government would be faced with an almost insurmountable set of
problems if such a bomb was detonated when traffic in London was
gridlocked. This is not just another spy thriller about
counter-terrorism; it is a wake-up call to all of us!
The Portable Wargame has been developed over the past ten years to
meet the needs of wargamers who want a fast, easy to learn, simple
to use set of wargames rules that don't require the player to
purchase and paint a large collection of figures and that can be
staged on a small dinner table, a large coffee table, or something
even smaller. The rules are designed to be used with a gridded
tabletop made up of squares or hexes.
This book tells the story of the members of The Grove Park Lodge
(No.2732) who served during the First World War.
