Goodbye Stuart Asquith
«

I'm truly saddened to hear about the passing Stuart Asquith last night. He is a legend of the hobby and his books will be read by others for many more years to come. He was a frequent customer of mine and he was always very helpful when talking with him. My thoughts are with his family and friends.
Rest Easy Stuart, you will be missed by many within the Hobby :'( :'(

Ah, what a pity. He was a wargaming legend of old. I remember buying his 'Battle' magazine (short-lived, but the was the editor) when I was a kid back in the 1970's, so he's been a leading light in the world of wargaming for a very long time. Bless him.

RIP , Mr. Asquith. I never met him but I bought Battle magazine religiously. I’ve always enjoyed his articles in other publications, a great contributor.

A sad lose indeed, it was his articles in Military Modelling back in the 80s that really got me into wargaming.

So sorry to hear this news.
I corresponded with Stuart recently and was able to tell him how he'd been an inspiration to me through his articles and publications. A very nice guy.

Sad news. I was only yesterday leafing through one of his War of 1812 books too.

That is really sad news indeed. I grew up with his books and magazine articles in the late 70th and early 80th . He will be missed dearly. Rest in peace!

RIP, a great influence on the hobby and a genuinely nice man.
I had the pleasure of periodically gaming with him a few years back, he was a true gentleman.
