The quiet sense of something lost

 As in the winters left behind,

 Again our ancient games had place

-Tennyson, In Memoriam

    1. I believe he dabbled, although at heart he was more of a Dungeons and Dragons man.

      On a sadder note, I was reminded of those words because I learned yesterday of the death of Otley's other wargamer, with whom I played a number of games in the summer of 2019, before lockdown and then illness put a stop to them. RIP Keith.
