from the editor
Hello … is there anybody out there? I sincerely hope so. I hope that after two months of
forced absence you are pleased to be able to grasp the glossy paper of
Wargames Illustrated
between your fingers and read through its pages in eager anticipation of wargaming
entertainment and enlightenment.
Painting the Chamberlain
Brothers .................................... 32
It’s been trying times for small publishers like ourselves but thanks to some hard work from
the Wi team and interesting innovation in the form of Wi Bite-size we have come out the
other side of the Coronavirus Crisis (fingers crossed!) raring to go.
If this is the first time you have heard from
Wargames Illustrated
since the April issue
i.e. you have not seen any of our online posts, here’s what you have missed –
• Production of
Wargames Illustrated
ceased with the April issue of the magazine.
• Subscribers had their subs frozen – they will still receive the total number of magazines
they paid for.
• During the course of the lockdown we produced a weekly online/PDF magazine called
Wi Bite-size, which was free to all print subscribers and WiPrime members, or available to
purchase for anyone else (with the money going to the UNICEF Coronavirus Crisis fund).
•
Wargames Illustrated
print is now back in regular monthly production.
Painting
Swedish Infantry .................... 78
• We will be bringing you as many ‘bagged’ freebies as possible throughout the rest of the
year, however that schedule has taken a bit of a battering due to the pesky virus.
We had great fun producing the weekly Bite-size version of the magazine during lockdown,
but at the end of the day only 5% of our regular readership where downloading or viewing
it online. This first post-Corona magazine contains some of the same content seen in those
bite-size mags plus brand new material. We also have a bumper Observation Post for you
this month – ten pages of new releases you may have missed under lockdown.
It continues to be a challenge producing (and selling!) a magazine in these turbulent times
but we are very much on an onwards and upwards curve – your
Wargames Illustrated
magazine is now back and looking forward to another 33 years!
P.S. “What’s this month’s theme?” I hear you think. Well, there isn’t one. Theme content
is another thing that took a battering during lockdown, but following your response to the
“Should
Wargames Illustrated
continue to have themes?” question in our recent survey, in
which 83% of readers said they “liked our broad themes and wanted them to continue “ -
they will be back.
Happy reading.
