The Society of Twentieth Century Wargamers (SOTCW) is an international body established in 1989 to promote all aspects of wargaming 20th century periods. Membership of the Society is on a subscription basis, with society members receiving copies of society magazine The Journal.

Activities

The society produces a journal, featuring reviews, articles, scenarios, rules, letters, advertisements, traders' comments and offers. Many traders offer discounts to society members. In 2014, the society started offering PDF-only subscriptions on Wargame Vault, to complement the existing paper Journal.

The society operates a web forum and has a website where more information and sample journal articles can be found.

In 2014, the society partnered with Shilka Publishing to publish a compendium of World War I-related articles. All profits from this compendium are donated to The Royal British Legion.
