What's new at Wargameron
Krzysztof Dytczak at Wargameron 2026!
03-06-2026
This time things are a little different, because our next “guest” is also one of the hosts of the event!
Krzysztof Dytczak, co-organizer of Wargameron, has also been actively designing wargames for many years. Many of you know him as the designer of *Race to Berlin*, published by Portal Games, and earlier *Berestechko 1651*, released by SNAFU as part of their *Pocket Battles* series.
At Wargameron 2026, Krzysztof will be presenting a prototype of his latest game:
**Korea 1950–1951**
This new project takes players to the battlefields of the Korean War and allows them to experience the dramatic opening years of the conflict. The game builds upon and expands the mechanics known from *Race to Berlin*, offering a dynamic operational-level experience set during one of the most important conflicts of the Cold War.
This will be a great opportunity to:
– see the prototype at an early stage of development,
– learn about the designer’s vision and design choices,
– play the game and provide feedback,
– and discuss the design of historical wargames.
If you are interested in 20th-century conflicts, the Korean War, or simply want to see how a new wargame is developed, be sure to visit Krzysztof’s table during Wargameron 2026!
Paweł Makowiec – Guest of Wargameron 2026!
02-06-2026
We are extremely proud to introduce our special guest — Dr. Paweł Makowiec, who will be joining us with several fascinating games from the world of professional and military wargaming! 🫡
One of the key differences between traditional board wargames and those used in professional military settings is the role of the facilitator, who oversees the game, adjudicates player decisions, and manages the development of the scenario. Paweł is an experienced facilitator of training wargames and will be presenting several unique systems at Wargameron.
**Duel Tactique**
A wargame developed for the education and training of French Army officers. It focuses on brigade- and division-level operations and combines simple board game mechanics with realistic military doctrine. The system is used both as an educational tool and for testing different courses of action before real-world operations.
**Battlegroup Clash Baltics**
A modern tactical-level wargame set during a hypothetical NATO–Russia conflict in Estonia. It is particularly interesting for those involved in military education, as it originated as a training game developed for the British Army before being adapted for the civilian market.
**Zagubin 3.0**
The latest version of Paweł’s matrix game, set in a hypothetical scenario involving a besieged Polish city during a conflict with Russia. The game is used to train public administration personnel, military officers, and government agencies. Players take on the roles of both the Blue and Red sides, making decisions that shape the evolving situation.
If you are interested in the professional use of wargames, military education, and modern conflict simulation, Paweł’s sessions and demonstrations will be among the most unique experiences at Wargameron 2026!

Yves Rettel – Guest of Wargameron 2026!
28-05-2026
We are extremely proud to introduce our special guest — Yves Rettel, who will be joining us with his game *Northern Strike*!
Yves is best known for his opus magnum — *Red Strike*, a hypothetical NATO vs. Warsaw Pact conflict set in 1989. The system covers land, air, and naval operations across Central Europe and the North Atlantic and is widely regarded as one of the most interesting recent Cold War conflict simulations.
*Northern Strike* takes players to Scandinavia and the Norwegian Sea, on a map stretching all the way into the Arctic.
The game shares around 90% of its rules with *Red Strike*, while adding:
– political aspects,
– the unique nature of operations in the northern theater,
– and the challenges of Arctic warfare.
At Wargameron, Yves will be presenting introductory scenarios that are a fantastic way to learn the system in an easy and approachable manner.
It’s a perfect opportunity both for experienced wargamers and for players looking to begin their adventure with the „Strike system”!

Stefan Ekström – Guest of Wargameron 2026!
26-05-2026
We are extremely proud to introduce our special guest — Stefan Ekström, who will be joining us with his latest game *Colossus Stumbled*!
Regular Wargameron attendees already know Stefan very well, as he visits us almost every year with new and fascinating projects for testing and presentation. This year, besides other games and ideas you will be able to discuss with him, Stefan will present *Colossus Stumbled*.
This time, the designer once again returns to the Eastern Front of World War II — focusing on the Second Battle of Kharkov in May 1942.
The scenario covers the most intense 12 days of the campaign — from May 12th to May 23rd, 1942.
Soviet forces launched an offensive against the German 6th Army from a salient established during the winter counteroffensive. After a promising start, the offensive was halted on May 15th by massive Luftwaffe airstrikes, after which the Axis forces launched their counteroffensive, codenamed *Operation Fredericus*, in the Kharkov region.
The objective of the operation was to eliminate the Izium bridgehead over the Seversky Donets, also known as the “Barvenkovo Bulge,” which served as one of the main staging areas for the Soviet offensive.
At Wargameron, you will have the opportunity to:
- see the game prototype,
- talk with Stefan about game design,
- and learn more about one of the most interesting upcoming projects focused on the Eastern Front.
Grzegorz Kuryłowicz – Guest of Wargameron 2026!
25-05-2026
We are extremely proud to introduce our special guest — Grzegorz Kuryłowicz, who will be joining us with his newly released game *In Fours to Heaven*!
*In Fours to Heaven* is a strategic-level wargame covering the September Campaign of 1939 — the very first campaign of the Second World War. It is undoubtedly one of the most ambitious and comprehensive games ever created about the Battle for Poland.
The game portrays the dramatic clash between Poland and Hitler’s Third Reich and the first large-scale use of tactics that would later become known as *Blitzkrieg*.
What makes the game especially unique is its strong focus on the Polish perspective:
* Polish propaganda,
* morale,
* and the viewpoint of the General Staff
all play an important role in the gameplay experience.
This creates a multi-layered campaign simulation that goes far beyond a traditional hex & counter game and forces the Polish player to make difficult strategic and political decisions throughout the campaign.
* The game covers the entire campaign from September 1st to October 6th, 1939.
* It can be played as a full campaign or through a series of smaller scenarios.
* Unit scale is division/regiment level, with each hex representing 10 kilometers of real terrain.
At Wargameron, you will have the opportunity to meet Grzegorz, see *In Fours to Heaven* on the table, and talk about one of the most anticipated games covering the 1939 campaign!
Kevin Bertram – Guest of Wargameron 2026!
25-05-2026
We are extremely proud to introduce our special guest — Kevin Bertram, who will be joining us with, among other titles, his latest game *The Halls of Montezuma*!

*The Halls of Montezuma*
*Shakespeare’s First Folio*
*Guano! Guano!! Guano!!!*
His newest game *The Halls of Montezuma* tells the story of the war between the United States and Mexico from 1846 to 1848.
Playing as the United States, you must capture California and invade Mexico while dealing with growing political opposition at home. Playing as Mexico, you will fight a defensive war of attrition against the better trained and led American forces.
*The Halls of Montezuma* is a low-complexity card-driven game for two players (with solo rules included), allowing players to experience the decisions and dilemmas of this pivotal historical conflict.
At Wargameron, you will have the opportunity to meet Kevin in person, talk about game design, and see *The Halls of Montezuma* on the table!
David Gómez Relloso – Guest of Wargameron 2026!
25-05-2026
We are extremely proud to introduce our special guest — David Gómez Relloso, who will present his latest game, *An Impossible War(2025)*, recreating the First Carlist War in Northern Spain between 1834 and 1838.
*Una Guerra Imposible* combines block mechanics, counters, and cards to create a unique portrayal of one of the lesser-known conflicts of the 19th century.
David is also the designer of what is now considered a true classic among card-driven point-to-point games — *CRUSADE AND REVOLUTION: The Spanish Civil War, 1936–1939 (2013)*. The game is widely regarded as one of the most complete and immersive simulations of the Spanish Civil War ever created.

25-05-2026
We are extremely proud to introduce our special guest — Paul Hederer, who will be joining us with his latest game, *1916: Romania – Prelude to Blitzkrieg*!
Published by VUCA Simulations, this title is a comprehensively researched operational-level game covering the campaign fought in and around Romania from August to December 1916.
This campaign was unique within the Great War due to the sweeping offensives conducted by both sides and the effective use of cavalry forces. The game also features truck units, highlighting the early use of motorized transport on the battlefield.
The game is an adaptation of Bertrand Munier’s CSR award-winning *Nach Paris* system, modified to reflect the nature of warfare in 1916 and the unique characteristics of this theater of operations.
The game map covers northern Bulgaria, Romania, Bukovina, and Transylvania.
The game will include two standard-sized maps with a combined size of approximately 110 × 117 cm and around 900 counters!
At Wargameron, you will have the opportunity to see the game prototype and participate in a demonstration game run by Paul Hederer himself!
