Game Research/Design

Game Research/Design

Game Research/Design (GR/D) was a board wargame publisher, principally concerned with the Europa series of European World War II wargames. GR/D was formed in 1985 by John Astell, one of the Europa designers, and Winston Hamilton, another WWII wargame designer. The company published several Europa expansions, as well as a magazine dedicated to the series, and in 1989 GR/D acquired the rights to the series. They published collector's editions of the Europa games, as well as beginning two more series focusing on the Pacific War and World War I.

In 2001, GR/D was purchased by Mill Creek Ventures. In 2004, Mill Creek sold GR/D to Historical Military Services.
