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.
