Sprawling Wargames - Multiplayer Wargaming

'Paddy Griffith can be seen as the doyen of British wargaming, and he has certainly been instrumental in the way that the discipline has developed over the decades.' Andrew Roberts author of The Storm of War.

As a professional military historian, Paddy Griffith’s career started as a civilian lecturer at the Royal Military Academy at Sandhurst. Since 1989 he has been a freelance author, publisher and occasional university lecturer.
