Wrg Design Inc company history timeline

1850

Meanwhile rules for other periods were also developed and published and the name was changed to "Wargames Research Group". These included the original set of rules for 1750-1850, the main wars in this period being those against Napoleon.

1969

The rules were popular and in July 1969, after a few minor amendments, copies were printed and offered for sale.

1971

The third edition Ancients was published in September 1971 and lasted for two years.

1975

In 1975, Phil wrote the "AIRFIX guide to Ancient Wargaming" (usually known as the "purple primer") and this was published in September 1975.

1979

The 110-strong civil, structural, hydraulic, traffic and transportation consulting engineering business, established in 1979, provided us with a significant stake in Melbourne’s bourgeoning infrastructure sector.

1980

Sixth edition Ancients was published in August 1980 and was a major revision and simplification of the previous sets, which had gradually increased in complexity over the years.

1991

The next set (published in October 1991) was "Hordes of the Things" (or HOTT) a set for fantasy wargaming in which magic is not all-powerful but merely one part of the action.

2002

Established in 2002 as a 50-50 JV between Cardno and AECOM, T2 Utility Engineers Incorporated (T2ue) is Canada’s leading Subsurface Utility Engineering (SUE) company.

2007

Although Phil had moved on to DBMM which he saw as the successor to DBM, in 2007 Richard produced a set of amendments which updated version 3.0 to 3.1.

M&A Activity 2007: Buckland Engineers Australia, WRG Design, Low and Hooke, Truebridge Callender Beach, Emerging Markets Group (EMG), S.P.L.A.T., Saraceni Engineering Group.

2010

To bring the story up-to-date, in January 2010 a new company, Wargames Research Group Ltd, was formed and in June 2010 its first publication, DBMM Version 2.0 appeared.

Although long out-of-print, it is still in demand and in 2010, John Curry reprinted it along with the sixth edition of the Ancients rules (see below). At the time it was written, the current edition of the Ancient rules was fourth edition and so the examples in the primer refer to this edition.

With the demise of Reg Games Ltd in 2010, DBM was no longer available.
