Hail Fellow Wargamers!

The Burgess Brothers started miniature wargaming nearly three decades ago. Over our lives, military service and careers have kept us largely separated for 20 of those 30 years but we have always made a point of wargaming whenever we could get together. This site is in part an effort to rekindle that early gaming enthusiasm and to share it with our wargaming friends.

For the most part we started with old ESCI 1/72 scale ancients glued on strips of cardboard using very simple homegrown rules. From there we expanded into 15mm & 25mm metal collections from various periods. We were on board with the initial introduction of Warhammer 40K and came to enjoy other GW games, especially Warmaster. Now that Warhammer Historicals is publishing Ancient Warmaster, we find ourselves returning to our roots with Ancient Wargaming. The 10mm miniatures of Warmaster are well suited to the constant moves of military life and the distances we must travel to game with each other.

So, welcome to a small part or our world and come back often as we continue to expand this site with new ideas and future projects. Currently Brother Tom is stationed at Ft Knox, KY and games in the Louisville, KY area while Brother Brian is at Quantico, VA and games in N.Va area.
