wargames illustrated issue wi388 february 2020
from the editor
The theme for this issue is
Soldiers on Campaign
- and not - Soldiers, on Campaign. A
subtle difference which means that rather than focusing on the wargame campaigns the
soldiers are on, we are focusing on the soldiers that are on those campaigns. Simple! And if
that’s about as clear as mud, you will see what I mean once you start reading the excellent
contributions (written by wargamers, for wargamers) which have made it into this magazine.
A great starting point is page 22 where we have
The Seasoned Campaigner
by Pete Brown
in which he discusses ‘campaign hardened troops’, a subject taken up by Jim Graham in his
article
Campaign Effects on Armies,
both focus on wargaming rather than history.
I always find it impressive and interesting to examine a figure sculptor’s work-in-progress,
and having commissioned a 28mm mini of Marshal Ney for our
Giants in Miniature
series
we got ‘putty pusher’ Kris van Dyke (Van Dyke Figures) to do just that and show us how he
went about creating the figure, see our article
The Making of Marshal Ney.
As ever, we’ve got lots more going on between the covers, taking you from Malplaquet to
the apocalypse with numerous points in between. Enjoy!
Dan Faulconbridge,
Editor and Owner.
Our front cover artwork is ‘On Campaign’ by Neil Roberts - A young Private of the 2nd Battalion,
69th (South Lincolnshire) Foot sits, tired and in shock, having survived Quatre Bras and Waterloo.
The figure (top left) is Marshal Ney - the latest model in the Wargames Illustrated Giants in Miniature range.
Below: Alfred the Great and his Hearthguard. Figures by Crusader Miniatures.
