Wargamer's Pilgrimage

 Welcome to WARGAMERS PILGRIMAGE - A journal in the life of a wargamer!   My hopes and intent of this wargaming blog will be able to share my wargames, discuss rules and rulesets, bring enjoyment to those who enjoy military history, painting miniatures, wargaming, and enjoying the fellowship of friends who are likeminded.  I recently retired after 39 1/2 years in Law Enforcement and a lifetime of loving reading about military history, playing with toy soldiers, painting military miniatures and wargaming.  I've made so many friendships through the years across the country at wargaming conventions, particulary from Michigan where we are blessed to have an abundance of wargamers and conventions.  So sit back, and enjoy, as we start this new adventure together!                                          Yours truly, Michael Wedding
