WELCOME

Irecently spent most of a day at a club Openday (run by SELWG and others) running my UFO games for players and had a lot of fun doing it. It’s interesting to see the reaction from gamers when you are putting on a game that isn’t from a big manufacturer...

In Issue 505 the pace of the year seems to be picking up. We finish up our ACW trip to Gettysburg (probably...) plus the conclusion of Oh Canada! We have a piece on iconic photographs inspiring gaming; Napoleon’s retreat from Moscow; plus a Rapid-Fire...

WELCOME

WELCOME

Miniature Wargames has hit 503 and I have achieved my centenary. No, I’m not a hundred years old (though nowadays I often feel like it...) but this is my 100th issue. So: what’s in it? We visit the ‘Merican Civil War with McPherson’s Ridge, and an...

This month we present the broad selection of wargaming articles we are so rightly proud of: from Entebbe Airport to Killiecrankie we cover a lot of ground! We also have an ECW scenario with Powick Bridge; some Easy and Puerile toy soldier rule ideas;...

WELCOME

So: what’s in this month’s edition? Well, ‘death’ certainly rears its ugly head: we have colonial action with Death on the Nile and interstellar mayhem using S.T.A.R. with Death on Pima Prime. We have more Robin Hood using Rangers of Shadowdeep plus...
