Wargames Illustrated | Wi453 September 2025
Retreating, regrouping, and rearguard actions have been a feature of warfare for millennia; they can also make for great wargames! Our theme this month – Retreat. Regroup. Rearguard! – features in four articles, spanning locations from the North Sea to Afghanistan to Chickamauga, plus several places in between. You will find rules, scenarios, and tips on figures and terrain, all based for dynamic or desperate R, R, and R tabletop battles.
In addition to our theme content, we present wargaming action from World War One (without goblins!), Dragon Rampant Second Edition (with goblins!), The Battle of Aliwal 1846, a mammoth Mons Graupius game, The Battle of Boars Hill – a Wars of the Roses ‘What if?’ – and more, including loads of new wargaming kit in Observation Post and Release Radar.
