The Wargamers Encylopediac Dictionary

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Wargamers Encylopediac Dictionary is a 1981 book written and published by the American Wargaming Association.

Contents[edit]

The Wargamers Encylopediac Dictionary is a specialty dictionary focusing on younger wargamers to explain terminology used in the hobby.[1]

Reception[edit]

W.G. Armintrout reviewed The Wargamers Encylopediac Dictionary in The Space Gamer No. 52.[1] Armintrout commented that "The Wargamers Encylopediac Dictionary is certainly not going to help some newcomer trying to decipher the slang in TSG; it will be of partial help with wargames, miniatures, or D&D. I realize a lot of work was done on this booklet. Unfortunately, I think a better selection of terms and less formalism would have been a vast improvement - I don't recommend it."[1]
