Connections UK: Connections UK is the premier professional wargaming conference in the UK. Similar to Connections USA. Details of Connections 2025 will be published here in due course. Purpose. To bring professional wargame practitioners together to share and spread best practice. To quote Professor Phil Sabin (Formerly King's College, London): 'the trouble is at present that there is too little awareness of what other individuals are doing, and we are losing in terms of mutual support and the sharing of good practice.' Aim. The aim of Connections (UK) is 'To advance and preserve the art, science and application of wargaming' Testimonials. "I have attended many conferences over the years. This is, perhaps, the only one I would describe as outstanding." "An excellent, thought provoking, and network-enabling event. I look forward to next year." "I came away having drunk from the most valuable fount of knowledge this side of the pond. The megagame was a great addition, which I enjoyed immensely. A fantastic quality of speakers and attendees made both presentations and networking thoroughly worthwhile." "An excellent conference that just gets better."   A Tribute to the late Dr Peter Paul Perla, III It is with great sadness that we announce Peter Perla passed away suddenly on January 21st, 2024. On behalf of the wargaming community we send our heartfelt condolences to his wife JoAnn and children, Stephen and Sara. Peter was a giant amongst wargamers, having affected thousands of lives through his work, mentoring and friendship. He not only influenced wargamers, he also influenced those who serve on the battlefield. As Matt Caffrey put it "since wargaming saves lives, Peter's contributions saved a great many". He was a sought after consultant and speaker, internationally as well as nationally, for his insights and positive contributions. His refusal to accept nonsense was always tempered by his dry wit, innate kindness and willingness to teach and advise. His passing leaves a gap in the professional community which even his many mentees will find hard to fill. The link to a Tribute video to Dr Peter Perla is here. His Obituary is here.
