Wargaming and Military History are the interests I pour most of my spare time into. Check out Alan Millicheap’s site for a good description of this hobby, and why one person chooses to spend his time on it. Broadly speaking the hobby means I'm interested in wargaming figures (2nd Tabor of Regulares of Tetuán), Modelling (e.g. Wooden Buildings) and wargames rules (e.g. Crossfire, Shako, DBx, Field of Glory, Campaigns). Currently I'm keen on the Crossfire rules although I've quite a few armies for other periods and sets.
Field of Glory
Ancient and Medieval rules by Richard Bodley Scott, Simon Hall and Terry Shaw, oh, and Osprey. And the Renaissance off shoot.
DBx
Variations on DBA, DBM, DBR and HOTT, plus compatible campaign systems. New World DBA and Liberators HOTT are the most novel variations.
Liberators QPR
John Fletcher of Grenadier Productions has a set of Quick Play Rules designed for the South American Wars of Liberation.
Flames of War
I'm not a FoW fan so this is just some thoughts about the Blue Division under that rule set.
Conquerors & Kings
Ancients set of rules by RFCM i.e. Peter Pig. Grid system. I think they're flawed.
Modelling
Covers making and painting Wooden Buildings and Fortifications, Flocking, and Painting Guides and much more.
Twilight of the Sun King
My Twilight of the Sun King rules. Fast play rules for the Marlburian period.
Two Hour Wargames
Two Hour Wargames make all sorts of 1:1 skirmish games. They pitch them as light Role Playing Games.
Volley & Bayonet
Volley & Bayonet is a grand tactical set of Napoleonic Rules. Each stand is a brigade of 2000 to 6000 men.
Maximilian
Fast Play Rules for the Great Italian Wars. Based on DBx.
Hispania
Multi-player board game set in Hispania but based on the game Britannia.
Hurrah Stalino!
Operational level game for World War II.
Rules for Naval Warfare
Rules for Naval Warfare 1500 to 1850 written by my father Gary Thomas.
Wargaming Clubs
Clubs I've been associated with.
