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 ;)
