Wargames Illustrated Magazine Wi419, November 2022 Edizione posteriore

This month’s theme is Twisted History. But what exactly is twisted history, I hear you think? Well, it’s a phrase we’ve coined for wargaming anything with a historical base that ‘twists’ into something fantastical: fictional nations and conflicts in interwar Europe with Painting Mark’s Little Soldiers (page 60); dungeon crawling in the Napoleonic War in our Silver Bayonet campaign (page 32); pulp adventures in the 1930s with a Pulp! Q&A (page 68); peculiar paddleboats, or How to Convert a Steampunk Gunboat (page 48); and finally, the Cold War gone hot in Old Dog: New Tricks (page 80).

We hope you enjoy twisting with us; but if you like your wargaming straight as a die, you will find plenty of untwisted history to enjoy, stretching from ancient to modern with several stops in-between.

I’ll end with a word on last month’s magazine, or more specifically the Wi-Johnson-Perry collaboration Valour & Fortitude – it has proved to be amazingly popular! If you missed out, fear not, because
1) we still have copies of Wi418 (including free V&F) for sale on the Wargames Illustrated website;
2) WiPrime members can download it at any time from The Vault; and 3) cheapskates can download it for free from the Perry Miniatures website. There is also a V&F Errata on the Perry and Wi websites so that you can keep abreast of all those annoying little mistakes we made.
