Wargames Illustrated Magazine WI403 July 2021 Edizione posteriore

French troops are never very far from the wargames table: whether that be Charlemagne’s Frankish warriors, Napoleon’s legions, the Poilus of the Western Front, and more. The martial prowess of the soldiers from the various regions that have come to make up the modern French Republic is legendary, and in the theme articles of this issue we explore some of those warriors and how to bring their conflicts to the tabletop.

In order to introduce or expand your gallic forces, included free with this magazine is a frame of four French Line infantry, courtesy of Warlord Games. Following on from last month’s introduction to the world of Turnip28 we show you how (even if you don’t think you are interested in French Line Infantry 1807 – 1810!) you can include your new figures in gaming action.

We’re not all allez les bleus though this issue, outside of our theme we will be whisking you off to such exotic locations as mugal India, medieval Flanders and the Wild West. We also have a great Artificial Intelligence article for you, exploring ideas common in solo wargaming which can also be brought to bear in two (or multi) player games.

Happy reading and rolling!
