Our talented designer Andy joins us this month, because his knowledge of Creative Assembly’s series is almost as impressive as his ability to design great pages of the mag. Lead on, Andy.

I have never played a Total War game. I’ve read lots of articles about Total War for PC Gamer, but even then my knowledge is severely lacking.
