The Known World began around Sheffield (AFAIK) and migrated via Leeds University circa 1974, moving on as that cohort of students dispersed, albeit always run from Bruces's Northumberland home. It spread its player base across continents, and never ceased to find its diplomatic place at the bars of wargame conventions, or in huddled groups - often in the curry houses of Leeds, Margate, Reading, or Sheffield.
The Known World put a team forward for the Sheffield Triples over many years, and many individuals played in the UK National Championships with success (often Bruce or his eldest son Alan).
On a personal note, Bruce was the Best Man at my wedding in 1984, and the gathered throng included many Known World players such as Genghis, Good King John.
The campaign was a great thing, made greater by the players who were in it.
