Board Gaming Saturday
The Wargame Bootcamp was formed in 2006 at the Strategicon game convention in Los Angeles by a group of wargamers.
We looked around the gaming convention and saw hundreds of Eurogames being played. Yet only a small handful of wargames were present. When we started asking people why they would not play wargames, we found out that most people thought the wargames were a) too hard and b) took too long to play. We decided to change that. Wargame Bootcamp was started in order to teach people how to play wargames and to show other gamers that there are easy, quick wargames out there. We invite all beginners and experienced players to learn new and classic war games. The average player will learn in approximately an hour and a half. The range of titles is wide and covers from the newest to the most classic of war games.
