Battlefront (Flames of War) have announced additional news about their plans for Wargames Illustrated Magazine, starting with Issue 260 (June 2009). From that issue the magazine’s page count will be increased by 40% (from 80 to 112) and this will be used for some Flames of War specific content as well as new material. On the whole it all sounds fairly positive and promising. You can read more at the press release… The cover illustration on left is a low-res version of a mock up you can see displayed on the Battlefront Poll Page of the possible new format.

 

 

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.
