HOW IT BEGAN
It was Nicholas who first started playing tabletop wargames with his friends back in the year 2000. After a few months, Richard followed and eventually delved into the hobby deeper than Nicholas, becoming somewhat obsessed with the lore and stories of these games. In time, Richard ran a wargaming club from the garage, making new friends and having many amusing tabletop adventures.
​
Due to relocating, the brothers had to downsize and pack up much of their wargaming material. Richard occasionally played games from home with friends but Nicholas had moved away to study. Not long after this, many regular players and wargaming friends left for new horizons. Eventually, Richard began to experience withdrawals; playing battles against himself and occasionally with others to keep his passion for tabletop wargaming alive.
​
During a break from study, Nicholas returned home. Richard requested to play a tabletop war game with Nicholas. After having a relatively long break from the hobby, Nicholas was a little reluctant but accepted when Richard pitched a very small game.
​
Soon into the game, Nicholas was disgruntled with the overall game system. He suggested changing the rules for activating units and the sequence of events. Richard was shocked, unsettled even at the thought of changing the rules after more than a decade of playing them, but he agreed. To his surprise, the game played better with these minor changes. Together, the brothers started to create homebrew rules using these initial adjustments. In time, they had some friends try these rules and received useful feedback to tweak the modifications further.
​
After playing with the adjusted rules for a few months, Richard approached Nicholas with an idea. What if they were to create a brand-new game? The concept was that players should have the freedom to do as they wish with their armies, even allowing them to create their own factions. It was then that the earliest form of WARSURGE was born.
​
Nicholas designed a basic version of a profile creation program specifically for desktop computers, but it was made clear from a meeting with a large wargaming community that a mobile based platform would be more appealing to a broader audience. It was then that the eldest brother, Brad, got involved and Three Brothers Grim was founded.
​
The three brothers dedicated much of their time over the course of five years to develop WARSURGE; the universal miniature wargame system that you have in your hands today. The soft launch was in late 2020 and now players all around the world are joining in the wargaming revolution, where they can use anything and fight everything.
​
Our heartfelt thanks goes out to all the wargamers and affiliates who have shown us their support. These players are the lifeblood of the hobby and their excitement for WARSURGE inspires us to continue to improve the game. Thank you for playing and see you on the battlefield!
