wargames illustrated issue wi380 june 2019
from the editor
The dust has now settled on Salute 2019, certainly the biggest wargames show of the year
for the
WI
team. All of our staff attend, hundreds of Salute goers subscribe to the magazine
and we run the world’s largest participation game at any show (see page 58). The coverage
of Salute in this month’s magazine reflects its ‘big deal’ status, with six pages dedicated to
our favourite games from the convention and eight pages of Observation Post given over to
‘Spotted at Salute’ - all the new releases showcased at the event.
Not to be outdone, our roving reporter Teras from Geek Nations Tours, provides us with a
view of another massive event on the convention circuit - Adepticon in Chicago - taking in
some of the tables we think our readers will find the most interesting.
Our theme for this month is ‘Uprising!’ and features four articles that have rebellions,
revolutions and civil wars as their focus. We take you from the fall of the Roman Empire
in Gaul to the 1946 Greek Civil War, via the struggle for Hungarian independence and the
Indian Mutiny.
Your freebie cover mount this month is a
Bolt Action
World War II US Infantry frame,
courtesy of Warlord Games. Tying in nicely with the 75th anniversary of D-Day, at which
American troops like the ones represented on the frame played a major part. For more
information see our ‘Frame Focus’ on page 26.
Happy reading and rolling.

Freak Wars 2019
In Madrid
Freak Wars 2019 is one of the most important events in
Spain for wargames, miniatures modelling, board games
and cosplay. This year, it will be held on September 14
and 15 2019, in the “Pabellón de Cristal de la Casa de Campo” in Madrid.
For the first time, the event moves to a professional, prepared space three times
larger than the previous venue. However, as always, there will be no entrance fee!
Now in its fourth year, the new venue provides more than 8,000 square meters,
complete with air conditioning and professional facilities. There will be plenty of
space for wargames tournaments, games exhibitions, a shopping area, miniatures
painting competitions, modelling, illustration and cosplay, plus workshops. Also
featuring will be discussions and presentations by many of the people directly
involved in these hobbies.
The organisers are expecting over 15,000 attendees over the course of the weekend.
This year, available space for the family games and activities related to the youngest
visitors will be enhanced, without losing the event’s essence: wargames, miniature
painting and modelling.
During the coming months, the Freak Wars organisers will continue to provide
updates and further news via the channels below -

The Australian Army
at War 1976–2016
Men-at-Arms 526
Since the end of their involvement in the Vietnam War, the Australian Army has been
modernized in every respect. After peacekeeping duties in South-East Asia, Africa and
the Middle East in the 1980s-90s, ‘Diggers’ were sent to safeguard the newly independent
East Timor from Indonesian harassment in 1999, and to provide long-term protection and
mentoring since 2006. Australian Army units have served in the US-led wars in Iraq and
Afghanistan, and Australian Special Forces are currently operating alongside US and
British elements against ISIS in northern Iraq. During these campaigns the Australian
SAS Regiment and Commandos have fully matured into ‘Tier 1’ assets, internationally
recognized for their wide range of capabilities.
The book, written by an Australian author who has written extensively about modern warfare, traces the development
of the Army’s organization, combat uniforms, load-bearing equipment, small arms and major weapon systems using
specially commissioned artwork and photographs.
