from the editor
For those of you who are still resisting the temptation to refight some Wars of the Roses
action using your free
Never Mind the Billhooks
rules from last month’s magazine, you will
hopefully be further tempted by a ‘Billhooks’ scenario which nestles amongst this month’s
‘Last Battles’ theme.
The Battle of Stoke Field was the last - and often overlooked - battle of the Wars of the
Roses. It joins several other final showdowns to feature in this magazine, including Texel,
Sellasia, Temesvar, Corunna and Castillon. If you have heard of more than a couple of
these battles you are doing well - hopefully we’ll be introducing you to last battles and new
conflicts which you have never heard of or gamed before.
When you’re not Last Battling you can take an in-depth look at the new Perry Miniatures
Afghan Tribesmen box set and
Frostgrave
Second Edition, and compare
Mortem et Gloriam
with
Hail Caesar.
Plus plenty more besides.
It’s not just articles we are providing you with this month - we continue to shower you with
free gifts. This time in the form of a Samurai or Ashigaru figure frame, courtesy of Warlord
Games. If you wanted Samurai but got Ashigaru, or wanted Ashigaru but got Samurai, don’t
fret – just keep buying magazines until you get what you want ; )
Happy reading.
