From the editor
It’s a busy time for new rules it seems,
Konflict 47, Bolt Action Two, Congo, The Men Who
Would Be Kings, Swordpoint,
to name but some of the rule sets which are impending or have
recently impended! How does a wargames magazine cope with this tidal wave of new stuff?
The answer is to be not just a magazine, or at least not just the collection of printed pages
you have in your hands.
In our quest to cover all things wargaming,
Wargames Illustrated
has to be more than just a
magazine, it has to be a cross-platform, multi-media portal. Yes, I’m aware that sounds daft,
and I promise not to say that again, but just trying to describe what
Wargames Illustrated
represents now underlines just how confusing it can be. We have the print magazine
(the thing in your hands), the Interactive magazine (the tablet version of the magazine),
Wargames Illustrated
Prime (our online members club), Wargames Illustrated.net (our
website), and, last but by no means least, our Facebook page… oh, and Twitter.
In this month’s print magazine, we are covering
Bolt Action Second Edition
and
Swordpoint,
in
WI
Interactive (for tablets), we feature an interview and play through of
Swordpoint,
on
WI
Prime we have a rules showcase of
Congo
and on our website you will find coverage of
our recent
Saga
Iron Man tournament.

In order to keep up with everything going on at/around
Wargames Illustrated,
my
recommendation would be that you turn to our Facebook page for the fastest and mostest
news. We will also continue to keep you posted on as much wargaming goodness as we
possibly can via every other outlet: print, interactive, website, Prime.
All that twittering about cross-platform, multi-media portals (doh! I said it again) leaves me
no room at all to tell you that this month’s theme is Warrior Women; four articles covering
heroines of history and one heroine of the hobby. Enjoy!
Happy reading, and gaming

First of all, we’ll have the latest
WI349
November issue of the print magazine, plus limited
pre-release copies of

be available will be Tactica 2017, which will also be the LAST time - once they’re gone,
they’re gone!
We will also have the full range of Giants in Miniatures figures available, at our usual show
special price. Come and see how the range has expanded and help us with ideas to expand
upon it in the future.
Of course, we’ll have stock of our splendid slipcases and a supply of some of the last print back
issues we have at bargain prices, plus as much of everything else as we can fit into the van.
So, are you ready for Crisis 2016? Hope to see you there!

BAZOOKA VS PANZER,
Battle of the Bulge 1944
World War II saw tanks assume a dominant role in warfare,
capable of tearing through the enemy lines if left unchecked.
To combat the threat posed by these armoured behemoths
the United States developed the M1 Anti-Tank Rocket
Launcher, better known as the Bazooka. First employed in
combat during 1942, the weapon required a great deal of
skill and courage to use effectively. By late 1944 it was a
mainstay of the US infantry’s anti-tank capabilities,
alongside towed weapons, anti-tank grenades and other
longer-established measures.
Focusing on the savage close-quarters fighting between
Germany’s armoured divisions and the US infantry during
the Battle of the Bulge, Steven Zaloga’s absorbing study
compares and assesses the strengths and limitations of
the cutting-edge technology used by both sides. Featuring
specially commissioned full-colour artwork and explosive battle reports, this volume casts
new light on the evolving nature of infantry-versus-tank combat in the closing months of
World War II.
