by Armchair Dragoons PAO, 9 March 2026
Connections Online, the professional wargaming conference, co-sponsored by The Armchair Dragoons, will be held from 20-25 April 2026. Core events will be held 21-23 April.
This year’s theme is Wargaming Soft Factors
Conference chair Chris Weuve says
“This year Connections Online is “Wargaming Soft Factors — Moving Beyond Kinetics.” This is one of those “wargaming fundamentals” topics, because if you don’t get morale and the other intangibles right, it’s hard to meet the objectives. And of course, like all Connections Online conferences, we’re including lots of other gaming related topics as well. I can’t wait to see what our presenters have to offer!”
Registration is planned to open 16 March 2026
Events include, but are not limited to

Note that submissions of any kind will not be approved for the hours of 1000-1600 on TU/WE/TH (21-23 April), during our already-scheduled core events.
