There are at least 1000 professional wargamers in the world, I counted them until I got bored
I have just recorded my talk on the Western Approaches Tactical Unit (WATU) wargames 1942-45. My conclusions are slightly different from some other commentators youtube.com/watch?v=Z0C0qf…

I now have the naval wargaming equivilent of the dead sea scrolls. The lost unpublished Fletcher Pratt papers from his wargame 1939-1945. Rules, letters, ships cards etc... Look out for the Fletcher Pratt Naval Wargaming Companion in due course.

Review of my latest book wargamingmiscellany.blogspot.com/2024/02/wargam…
@SaraPerla8 @JimDaws93102644 He was a good friend and he also helped rejuvenate professional wargaming across the world.
My dad died suddenly yesterday. As always happens, you learn so much about someone when they are gone. To me, he was just the best dad, to many others, he was this:
Peter Perla, the pioneer of professional #wargaming, passed away last night. Peter indelibly shaped the wargaming profession - from writing the seminal book on wargaming to leading the field for decades. He will be terribly missed - both as a colleague, mentor, and friend.
Peter Perla, one of the key figures of modern professional wargames, has passed away. I have lost a good friend.
@UKFightClub1 I am most curious. I played 8 cyber wargames this year.
