The latest issue of Miniature Wargames arrived in the post on Wednesday, and I have managed to read it during breaks during my downsizing project.
The articles included in this issue are:
The stand-out article for me this month was Arthur Harman's It's On The Cards ... and not just because it contains a card-driven activation system for army-level battles using my PORTABLE WARGAME rules. Arthur has taken my simple system and developed it into something that is far more sophisticated but not a great deal more complex. Furthermore, it can be used with other rules, which makes it even more flexible.
Of the rest ... I found Robert Piepenbrink's Light Division interesting because it is aimed at wargamers who – like me – do not have a lot of space, and Conrad Kinch's Send three and fourpence was – as usual – good value.
All-in-all, this was another good issue that was in my opinion well worth its cover price.
