The latest issue of Miniature Wargames arrived whilst I was away, and I finally managed to read it yesterday.
The articles included in this issue are:

- One the scenario front, the two that are included in Conrad Kinch's column could easily be adapted for other places and other times, and
- The scenario/mini-campaign outlined in Arthur Harman's Nothing more gallant cries out to be re-fought ... and not necessarily with Napoleonic figures as shown in the article's illustrations.
- John Treadaway's show report about Crisis 2017 further reinforced my opinion that I really ought to pay this show a visit sooner rather than later.
Tell me more about the editors Crisis report.
ReplyDeleteI have to drive across town to the only newsagent that stocks MW and I'm not in great shape at the moment.
Jim Duncan,

ReplyDeletefuture reference, there are online newsagents such as http://www.newsstand.co.uk and other sites that sell single past ad current issues of magazines including MW if you do not want to subscribe. Not cheap, as you can pay a pound or two extra for delivery. Mark, Man of TIN

DeleteThat sounds like a very useful service. Thanks for the link.
All the best,

Glad you liked the scenario Bob. The original inspiration was the French Resistance and the Milice, but I reckon it could be adapted to any insurgency.
ReplyDeleteConrad Kinch,
DeleteIt did strike me as being a very adaptable scenario, and I can see VBCW enthusiasts using it.
All the best,
Bob
