Peloponnesian War: What Was Old is New Again! (Part 1)

As I write this, my solitaire Peloponnesian War design, published in 1991 under the Victory Games label, has made a successful P500 debut as an enhanced version with GMT. To all those who supported bringing this one back from the past, thank you.

I was contemplating what to write for an article about the game, so I went into my Victory Games copy of the Peloponnesian War and found that my old habit of putting all reviews and articles about a game into the box turned this simple act into a walk down memory lane. Everyone who wrote or corresponded with me about the original published game was in the box, to include my articles in The General Vol. 28 #1.

Welcome to Swords and Chit! Our aim is to focus on discussing and reviewing wargames (with the occasional foray into something different, such is the case here). As a pair of relatively new wargamers coming from a background of euro games, a lot of things in the wargaming hobby are going to be new to us and we hope to provide a fresh voice for those who might be on a similar journey into this area of gaming. So we are glad you discovered this blog, and hope you stick around for future posts!
