The Evil Empire on the Brazos (BEE) chronicles the on going wars (games) and the diplomatic efforts (Posts/GNN Reports) of all the known nations (wargame collections) in our little area of the

and inform those new to art of miniature wargaming, and have a few laughs with it. We are open to all and welcome comment from all and hope that many will come to join us in the madness.....)
