Decision Games was
founded by Christopher Cummins in 1988 and originally known as
Cummins Enterprises.
In 1989, Decision
Games gained control of both The Wargamer and
Fire &
Movement and in 1991, acquired the rights to
Strategy &
Tactics. The Volume 2 of The Wargamer was combined
with Battleplan and released under the title of Moves.
The three surviving magazines put out a combined 22 issues per year
at the time of the acquisitions; additional Decision Games hosted
three game conventions annually in Los Angeles. A mail order house
specializing in out of print games, Christopher's Corner, was "colocated"
with Decision Games according to the editorial in Strategy &
Tactics #140.

After the acquisition, Decision Games
continued to release boxed magazines as well as games in the pages
of Strategy & Tactics, but to date, has shown little interest
in tactical titles. A reprint of Firefight is available at
the publisher's website. Additional magazines were introduced in the
S&T format.
World at War, beginning publication in 2008, focuses on the
Second World War, and Modern War on contemporary conflicts.
Like S&T, each adopted the format of including a game in each issue.
