Dale's Wargames

My blog about my wargaming activities. I collect a lot of 15mm miniatures for the American War of Independence and so collect a lot of rules for this period. I started miniatures with Napoleonics, so I have a number of armies in 6mm and 15mm figures for skirmishing. I have15mm WW II figures that I use for Flames of War, Memoir '44, and someday, Poor Bloody Infantry. Finally there is my on-again, off-again relationship with paper soldiers that I sometimes write about.

Tactical Puzzles

Remember the old Avalon Hill General magazines? I was thinking about them the other day and how they had a column of tactical puzzles to solve each issue. I am documenting situations for a tactical engine for solo DBA gaming (work can be found at the Solo DBA Development forum) and how other gamers deal with these situations would be helpful. I don't have any prizes to give, but thought maybe the readers would enjoy participating anyway. I'll present them from time to time here and on the Fanaticus Strategy and Tactics forum. Let me know if you need more information than is presented.

About Me

My photo
Huachuca City, Arizona, United States
I am 58 yrs old now. I bought a house in Huachuca City, AZ working for a software company for the last three years. To while away the hours I like to wargame -- with wooden, lead, and sometimes paper miniatures -- usually solo. Although I am a 'rules junkie', I almost always use rules of my own (I like to build upon others' ideas, but it seems like there is always something "missing" or "wrong").
