Issue 423 of Miniature Wargames is on the horizon. What gems can we espy within its pages?
There’s a duo of Napoleonic features with Light Division with Napoleonic rules for those with only a limited space and It’s on the Cards: as the name implies this is a card driven activation adaptation for Bob Cordery’s Portable Wargame by Arthur Harman .

In Send Three and Fourpence Conrad Kinch  ponders on having the right tool for the job: have you ever wondered why you buy so many rulesets? Mr Kinch has!

Do want something new in Fantasy Skirmish? Scouting Parties gives readers a pre-release peek at Vanguard the new Mantic Fantasy Skirmish system.

Hooray for Hollywood gives helpful guidance for using scriptwriting techniques to improve your scenario design. But – if it’s scenario material you want – how about Command Decision: Spotsylvania County?  Yes it’s Virginia, May 1st 1863 and that means another wargames conundrum by Jon Sutherland.

In the garden!

In A Moveable Feast the editor took his camera to Hammerhead 2018 and – while we are doing shows – why aren’t you playing 6mm scale gaming? Joy of Six is a Q&A full of  thought provoking suggestions to maybe change your mind!
