Florian Richter

Florian grew up in Germany, where wargaming is more unusual even than in Britain or the US. His interest in Roman and Napoleonic military history led him to build his own paper and coin armies before he discovered that wargaming was a real hobby. Today he plays both hex and counter and miniature games. CS Forester's Hornblower novels engendered a fascination for Napoleonic naval history, which combined with his interest in paper modelling and illustration makes him ideally qualified to be the creator of the Trafalgar profile model book. Florian graduated in East Asian Studies at Heidelberg and lives in Hamburg, Germany.
