Warfare in the modern era is no longer defined by massed infantry or grand lines of artillery — it is mobile, asymmetric, high-tech, and often fought in the shadows. From jungle ambushes in Vietnam to drone strikes in the Middle East, this page serves as your hub for wargaming from 1961 through to today.

You’ll find tactical, operational, and near-future content for:
  • ☢️ Cold War proxy conflicts — Vietnam, Angola, Afghanistan (1979–89)
  • 🏙 Urban warfare — Fallujah, Grozny, Mogadishu
  • 🛰 Drones & modern recon — UAVs, EW, cyberwarfare overlays
  • 🔫 Special forces raids & insurgency suppression
  • 🌍 Modern battles — Gulf Wars, Ukraine, Africa, Indo-Pacific flashpoints
  • 🔮 Near-future & speculative scenarios
Expect ruleset reviews (Spectre, Force on Force, No End in Sight, etc.), map resources, TO&E packs, asymmetric mechanics, and print-ready tools. This era rewards players who embrace technological imbalance, fog of war, and improvisation — both in mission design and playstyle.
