How Expensive is Warhammer?

We've talked before about why Warhammer is so expensive, and we've talked about how to wargame on a budget, but today I want to look at Warhammer compared to other wargames and see how it holds up. I got interested in this topic for two reasons: first, because someone was remarking on how expensive model-for-model…

11 Wargames That Aren’t From Games Workshop

On this website it's no secret that we talk a lot about Games Workshop, but what about wargames that aren't from Games Workshop? There's Warhammer 40k on the left hand side of the scroll, and Games Workshop just below the fold. And make no mistake--I absolutely love a lot of the Games Workshop games. While…

7 Best WWII Audiobooks for Wargamers

If you're like me, looking for the best WWII audiobooks for wargamers can be quite a task. There has been SO MUCH written about this massive world war that it's hard to sift through the many (often wonderful) books and find the ones that stand out from a wargaming perspective. Sure, there is plenty of…

The 2023 Ovelist: Well this turned out to be a different result from what I expected. I was fairly sure that I had done a good job of making my hobby goals a reality, but when it comes down to it, I'm not even batting .500. So last year I started the Ovelist. The Ovelist…

My Biggest Wargaming Hobby Regrets

I have been in the wargaming hobby for (I think) 35 years now. I got into it when I was nine and somehow got my hands on a copy of Wargames Illustrated, and I never looked back. Well, that’s not true at all. Over the course of those 35 years I have looked back plenty,…

Faction Focus: Bolt Action Armies of the United States

Looking at the Bolt Action Armies of the United States, you might be forgiven for thinking that they're not the most exciting army. They don't have any of the really wild units, like Soviet bomb dogs, and their tanks are mostly just a lot of variants of the Sherman--not like Germany's many different options. But…

Getting Started in Bolt Action: Gameplay

For my money, Bolt Action, and it's split-off game Tank War, are everything that I want from a World War Two wargame. The battles aren't big. This is still 28mm. But the gameplay is unique and, in my opinion, has one of the best wargame mechanics bar none. Getting started in Bolt Action is easy…

Wargaming With Kids: Why You Should Invite Your Children to Wargame With You When I was a young kid, my first real introduction to wargaming was walking the two blocks to Comics Utah, a tiny shop that was nerdy kid's paradise--and home to the quintessential Simpson's Comic Book Guy owner. It sold comics, miniatures, and…
