The Portable Wargame concept has been evolving since the first book was published in 2017, and a lively community of players has developed. These players share ideas and their own variants of the rules, and this led to the publication of a selection of them in 2022 in the Portable Wargame Compendium. This proved so successful that a second compendium has now been compiled.
This is the Second Portable Wargame Compendium, and it contains the following:
- Some generic Portable Skirmish Wargame rules
- Fast Play 3 x 3 Portable English Civil War Wargame Siege Rules
- Fighting a campaign using simple campaign rules and Fast Play 3 x 3 Portable Napoleonic Wargame rules
- A divisional army list generator for the Napoleonic period
- Some Variations on the Portable Napoleonic Wargame: Brigade Rules
- "Generals commanding armies have something else to do than to shoot at one another."
- An easy operational campaign game for Portable Wargames
- The Portable American Civil Wargame
- The Big Push: A variant of the Fast Play 3 x 3 Portable Wargame rules for the trench battles of the Western Front
- Rules and Army Lists for Portable Wargames in the Hyborian Age
- Turn sequence activation ideas using Uno cards
- 3Dprinting simple Portable Wargame armies and terrain: One modeller's approach
- 3Dprinting simple Portable Wargame armies and terrain: Another modeller's approach
