Chris Kemp's NQM website (
http://homepage.ntlworld.com/nc.kemp/index.htm) already features on the favourite sites list on this blog, but I hadn't looked at it for some time before this week. It was a report on Phil Steele's splendid blog (
http://pbeyecandy.wordpress.com/) which prompted me to look again. There had been a number of changes and updates since my previous visit - including more photos of Chris's toys!
NQM was one of the major influences which led to the development of my own
Megablitz game, and I have fond memories of playing and running NQM games in the 1990s. Somewhere I have some photos of the Kursk (South) game which Chris ran in 1995(?) which, if I can find them I'll post sometime.
So now take a look at NQM yourself.

Where are you based - perhaps there are 'like minded' players near you?
Thanks for the kind comments, Tim.
NQM was what 're-opened' 20th cent wargames for me. Previously the other games I had encountered were all virtually skirmish games with no real concept of the bigger picture.
NQM made all the big battle games in other periods look like skirmishes!

When I encountered NQM (1990) it seemed to be the game I'd been trying to develop for the previous five years. CK sure has a lot to answer for.
