EuroWarGames is a book that collates a series of articles from prominent designers and practitioners on the role, diversity and growth of wargaming in Europe.

The goal of the book is to better support the understanding of the European wargaming landscape, both from a professional and hobby perspective, and to contrast some of the specifics of wargaming in Europe compared to the US and elsewhere.

The book was curated by three very prominent and respected wargamers from the European scene: Frédéric Serval, Riccardo Masini and Jan Heinemann.

Across 17 chapters the book features articles from the likes Maurice Suckling, Brian Train, Volko Ruhnke and Giuseppe Tamba, among others.

Collectively the articles highlight ongoing debates concerning the hobby, profession and science of wargaming all over Europe, providing valuable insights into the vivid world of European wargaming.
