We are donating a full run of AH’s The General to the NY Public Library. Early members found us in the “Opponents Wanted” ads listing our “2,000 square foot loft for boardgames and miniatures” and “facilities to play any game, anytime.”

A king banned wargaming #WargamingHistory #Kriegsspiel #TabletopTactics Did you know a Prussian king once banned wargaming? King Frederick William III feared Kriegsspiel encouraged recklessness—before later making it official military training! Even royals couldn’t decide if wargaming was learning or play.

The First Wargames Club #WargamingHistory #MiniatureCommunity Did you know the first wargaming club met above a toy shop in 1950s London? A handful of enthusiasts laid the groundwork for the global wargaming community. Every club night today owes something to those early pioneers.
