Beginner's guides, tutorials, design studies, depth analysis and play-throughs of computer and board wargames. As wargamers, we invest our precious time enjoying complex deep-strategic games. The games themselves require study and thought to get the most out of them, not to mention a bit of effort to learn how to play them in the first place!

Without the kindness, dedication, and practical experience of others in the wargaming community I would never have had such a wonderful time immersed in gaming worlds. These videos are my effort in paying back the care given to me by others, so that you gain something.

I've been a keen wargamer since 1974, served very briefly as a reservist in 5 Queens Battalion, worked as a naval researcher at the RUSi.org in Whitehall, London and studied War Studies at King's College, London. RvT are my initials and "Dickie" is my gaming nickname, gained when mis-introduced by the host of a Games-Con, getting every part of my name wrong - it stuck.
