Alongside the likes of Don Featherstone and Charles Grant, Stuart was one of those individuals that has kept me in the hobby for all these years.
A great loss to the hobby.

Stuart Asquith
I learnt from Charles Grant this morning the very sad news that Stuart Asquith passed away last night.
A prolific author and gamer one only has to look on the Caliver books website to see how many books he had written and published. He was also the editor of Practical Wargamer a magazine that provided a great source of information and inspiration. Sadly I only met Stuart a couple of times at Partizan and then albeit but briefly. What was clear that his passion for the hobby remained with him throughout and that it was quite infectious - on both occasions after our conversations I felt re- enthused.

So sad to hear this news , an icon of wargaming .
Very sad news, he certainly inspired me with his early articles on wargaming the English Civil War.
I am sorry to learn of his passing. I never had the honor of meeting him in person, but ever since I came across his writings about wargaming; they have inspired me for many years and will continue to do so. He will be missed and mourned.
I am saddened to hear this. Stuart was one of the 'founding fathers' of the hobby as far as I am concerned, and extremely helpful to me when I had my little 54mm business. His reviews were always better than I thought the figures deserved. One of those people you expect to go on for ever, he will be missed.
R.I.P. Will be missed
That's very sad - thanks for posting this, Graham.
