As editor of the History of Wargaming Project, I am privileged to receive collections of wargaming books, rules, magazines, unpublished wargaming material
and recollections from early wargamers on a regular basis. Recently, I received a particularly interesting letter centred around Lionel Tarr from an early wargamer (David T. Bradley).

The letter is reproduced on my blog. wargamingco.blogspot.co.uk

As for me. I was pleased to get Operation Warboard back into print and a new lost book about wargaming Commando Operations by Don Featherstone.

You do good work John, keep it up!

(BTW, really pleased with my copy of 'Contact' the Canadian Army adaption of WRG moderns you have kept in print!)

If anyone in the UK is going to Colours on Saturday 14th Sept, you can find me running the Fletcher Pratt participation naval game. I will be running it with naval wargaming book author Phil Dunn.
