This blog is my continuing story about my eternal endeavours in the endless black hole that is called the miniature wargaming hobby. Space has no frontier.
I first shared my wargame hobby only by showing my figures to fellow club members from the Amsterdam6shooters wargame club. Then I started blogging on the club site. Then I started my own blog, this blog, earlier named The Dutch Napoleon of Wargame. Napoleon is my hero. In 2021 I started YouTube vlogging, under the new nickname A Bridge Too War, Dutch Wargame Vlog. Which is my new trademark now, so changed the blog name.
In my blog and vlog I will teach you all about my innocent little toy soldiers hobby, tell you how to conquer Moscow with just a ruler, an army of the best tin soldiers in the world and a few dice, publish fun wargame video’s and tutorials and blog about the art of miniature painting.
Life is short. Not gettting bored is the art of it.

Valuable work. I think I’m one of the few lawyers in the Netherlands who is also an advanced prompt engineer. I’m also one of the…
AI and Wargaming: Experimenting with Artificial Intelligence on the Tabletop (I)
For the past two years, I’ve been experimenting with ChatGPT in various aspects of life—work, research, analyzing local policy plans, organizing Toastmasters meetings, planning holidays, and, of course, wargaming. Early on, I tested AI-generated wargame strategies for Bolt Action and Warhammer 40K and was impressed with the tactical insights it provided. This led me to…
