Battlefront Miniatures of New Zealand (the makers of Flames of War) have announced the acquisition of Wargames Illustrated magazine and Gale Force Nine Miniatures. You can read more in their press releases here and here… It will be interesting to see what the future has in store for Wargames Illustrated, and whether Flames of War will become the predominant content of the publication. Wargames Illustrated is the second major UK Wargaming Magazine to change ownership in the last few months – Miniature Wargames was sold by long time owner/editor Iain Dickie to Andrew Hubback around October 2008.

BattleCry 2009
Here in Auckland it’s that time again – BattleCry 2009, the premier Auckland Wargaming Convention hosted (as always) by the AMERICA Club from Auckland University.

BattleCry is over the weekend of the 21-22 February 2009. Continue reading “BattleCry 2009”
New Table Top Teasers Book!
Battlegames Magazine announces the publication of the first Table Top Teasers wargaming scenario book by C. S. Grant.
My copy of Table Top Teasers Volume 1 has just arrived from Battlegames – and I must say most inspiring. I loved reading C.S. Grant’s teasers back in the 80’s (in Battle, Military Modelling, & Practical Wargamer), and although these are a compiled reprint of the first 12 that have appeared in Battlegames, they are still well worth the money with extra colour and a game report for each one. Additionally the book includes 2 additional ‘bonus’ teasers, including a reprint of the very first ever teaser from Battle Magazine in 1978!
