Editorial
“War is cruelty. There is no use trying to reform it. The crueller it
is, the sooner it will be over.”
—
William Tecumseh Sherman
In this issue of
Wargames, Soldiers & Strategy,
hopefully I will in-
troduce wargamers to another side of the American Civil War, one
that steers away from the traditional narrative of what we expect
the conflict to look like. You know me; I like to challenge the con-
sensus of wide-open battlefields and offer some alternatives. This
issue has fights in rivers and swamps, in trenches, and over fortifi-
cations. Hopefully, it’ll inspire gamers to look at the Civil War in a
different light. I hope you enjoy it as much as we have enjoyed putting it together.
I would also like to say a brief word about Duncan Macfarlane (1948–2021) who
died in late May. Duncan was the first editor of
Miniature Wargames
(launched back
in 1983), only to leave this publication after four years. He then founded a second
magazine,
Wargames Illustrated,
in 1987, which he retired from and sold in 2009.
Duncan also published my first article back in 2004 and, perhaps, started me on the
curious journey that led me to write for, and then become the editor of,
WS&S.
His
work and devotion to quality has rubbed off on us, and his original magazines are
still an inspiration – true wargames magazines about wargaming.
Everyone in the hobby knew Dunc; he was a friendly and outgoing individual. I
didn’t know him as well as I would have liked, and I think we only crossed swords
on the table once. I know he will be missed by a lot of people, including me.
Our nest issue focuses on reconnaissance and both the challenges and the para-
dox of trying to recreate it on the wargames table.

KNOW THY ENEMY
One of the first rules of warfare is to know what you're facing. In
WS&S

ages, and the challenge of simulating it on the tabletop.
