I am currently supervising 2 PhDs in wargaming related subjects at Bath Spa University (UK). If you are interested in potentially exploring a part time PhD (distance learning) with a focus on military history or intelligence matters, that involves some elements of wargaming, then we are interested in talking to.

Might be a nice retirement activity in a few years for me |

A contact link would be nice. That's part of the 'intelligence matters' :-) If I had the cash I would head to link or link |

Of those who posted a question.
How much time do you spend on the miniatures and how much time do you spend on the games and how much time do you spend on say, several of the following: Historical analysis such as Keegan did, logical analysis of history such as David H Fischer's Historians Fallacies or battlefield analysis such as Griffith's Forward Into Battle?
In a word, how much so called knowledge do you get from the games as differing from the source material be it the US Army Green Books, their military histories of WW2 or David Chandler or Robin Lane Fox? |

The one thing I've probably learned from wargaming – as opposed to from all the books I've read – is that I am/would have been a pretty awful general! |

Well, here's a thought.
You may be competent but unlucky
What's luck? |
worries about not losing his rules stuff.
