THE COVENANTERS
It could be argued that the first English Civil War was decided by this force of Scots, whose fighting prowess

long-range reconnaissance troops, along with an action packed ‘Train Attack’ scenario.

The history of the Etruscans is shrouded in mystery, but by digging deep, Dave Pauwels presents a complete gamer’s guide to one of Rome’s early enemies.
WILKINSON’S CAMPAIGN AGAINST THE SLAVERS
Wargaming stalwart Gary Chalk makes a welcome return to the pages ofWI and leads us on a trip into the dark heart of Africa with a set of scenarios for colonial warfare in (and around) the jungle.
Plus: We take a look at the Crusade and PAW shows in the UK, and our monthly roundup of News. We packed so
much in this issue we had to move our Reviews for this month to our website. |
