is a big fan of the Age of Sail, and these ships really speak to him - he loves transitional eras, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars was one of those.
It is with great sadness that I must report the death yesterday of eminent British wargamer, historian and author Dr. Paddy Griffith.
Paddy suffered a heart attack while recuperating at his Manchester home from a recent operation.
I will leave it to others to catalogue Paddy's many works and achievements. To me, he was a founder of Wargame Developments, a provocative author and game designer, and most of all, a generous friend.
He will be greatly missed, not least at the forthcoming Conference of Wargamers where he was to have presented the plenary game.
I'm sure all our thoughts are with his wife, Genevieve, at this difficult time.
