Another Slight Diversion – Home Page

Welcome

This is the home page of my blog.

There is a general menu above which gives an overview of what I’m interested in. You can use the categories to the right to seek out the content within the blog. You can find out more about my ImagiNation, Altefritzenburg, the annual Ayton games, other games organised by members of our forum The Loose Association of Wargamers, and the famed Savage Swans!

Updates are variable depending on life, family, and kids. But as I retired in March 2026 I hope to keep the updates more frequent.

So, dive in and let me know what you think. Feedback is important

Andy
