THIS MONTH
wargames illustrated issue wi376 february 2019
from the editor
It’s interesting how much wargaming potential there is ‘between the wars’. This month’s
theme looks at conflicts that took place after World War One ended and before World War
Two began and without even straying into the fertile ‘what if’ territory of
A Very British
Civil War
or Pulp, we found there were plenty of tabletop opportunities between 1918
and 1939.
observation post ...................

We cover the Russian Civil War, Polish-Soviet War, the Chaco War, US Gangsters and the
Winter War in our theme and we have only scratched the surface of what’s on offer. Our
Inter-War miniatures guide (page 64) provides a guide for these wars and others, in scales
6mm - 28mm.
Away from our theme we have great pleasure in announcing the winners and runners-
up in the
Wargames Illustrated
2018 Awards - as voted for by our readers and Facebook
followers. Several of last year’s winners have retained their crowns, but despite over
1,000 votes the competition has been tight, with several categories (e.g. Best Figure
Manufacturer) attracting literally hundreds of different nominees, and a couple of the
categories requiring re-counts as they were such close calls.
You will have noticed that our 2019 ‘big frame givaway’ continues this month, with another
plastic offering courtesy of Warlord Games. Having had a couple of months on the high-
seas, or rather
Cruel Seas,
this month’s frame is one of three from Warlord’s
Bolt Action
Western Desert range. You will have received either British 8th Army, Commonwealth or
Afrika Korps plastic troops.
All these frames come from box sets by Warlord Games, in their World War Two
Bolt
Action
range. To bolster your forces you should head over to the Warlord website or your
local wargames store and check out the complete sets.
See painted examples of your freebie figures below. You will also find a suggestion for
getting them into tabletop action by turnng to page 28.
Happy reading and rolling.
