The Portable Wargame concept has been evolving since the first book was published in 2017, and a lively community of players has developed. These players share ideas and their own variants of the rules, and this led to the publication of a selection of them in 2022 in the Portable Wargame Compendium.

As a result, he set out to write several sets of rules that would use similar game mechanisms to those in his other PORTABLE WARGAME rules, and that would enable him to fight a range of small, medium, and large battles on a relatively small tabletop.
