From the UK editor
Everyone loves a rebel, apart from the people they are rebelling against of course. For this
Rebels and Rebellions
themed issue of
Wargames Illustrated
we have chosen a couple of
big hitters, and a couple of history’s more obscure rebels, to lead us across the tabletop.
Our four rebel leaders take us to Cuba, England, Ireland and the un-United States of
America, in a quest for wargaming action. We begin by contesting the throne of England
with Lambert Simnel in
A Proper Game of Thrones.
We then move across the sea to
Ireland were Father Michael Murphy leads the United Irishmen in an attempt to throw
off the yoke of British tyranny. Fast forwarding 60 years and 4,000 miles, we ride with
Confederate Bushwacker William Clarke Quantrill and his raiders, before finishing off in
the heat of Cuba where we take the brush to one of the most famous rebels of them all -
Che Guevara.
Outside of our theme you will find articles on
Bolt Action, Flames Of War,
UK shows,
sculptors and much more beside.
This month’s cover artwork, ‘Guerrillas’ is used with the kind permission of the artist:

THE SPANISH CIVIL WAR
1936-39 (1)
Nationalist Forces
Author: Alejandro de Quesada
Illustrator: Stephen Walsh
The Spanish Civil War, 1936-39,
was the curtain-raiser to World
War II, and the major international
event of the 1930s. It was the
first great clash of 20th-century
ideologies, between the rebel Nationalist army led by
General Franco (right-wing, and aided by Nazi Germany and
Fascist Italy), and the Republican army of the government
(left-wing, and aided by the Communist Soviet Union and
many volunteers from liberal democracies). Three years of
widespread campaigns involved the most modern weapons
available. The war was fought ruthlessly by both sides,
and when the Nationalists secured victory they installed a
dictatorship that lasted until November 1975 - the last such
regime in Western Europe. Featuring specially commissioned
full-color artwork, this first part of a two-part study depicts
the fighting men of the Nationalist forces that strove to take
control of Spain alongside their German and Italian allies.
WILDERNESS AND
SPOTSYLVANIA 1864
Grant versus Lee in the East
Illustrator: Peter Dennis
In May 1864 the Union Army of
the Potomac under General
George Meade had been in a
leisurely pursuit of the
Confederate Army of Northern
Virginia for nearly a year after
the defeat of the Rebels at
Gettysburg. Confederate commander General Robert E. Lee still
retained his awe-inspiring reputation for wrecking Union armies
that got too close to Richmond and Meade was still cautious.
His tactics at Gettysburg were defensive and he was unsure that
he was able to take the offensive against Lee. However, things
changed when President Abraham Lincoln appointed General
Ulysses S. Grant to command all Union armies. Grant came east
and laid out a comprehensive strategy for the rest of the war. In
the deep South, General William T. Sherman would march out of
Tennessee to cut the Confederacy in half by taking Atlanta. Grant
would lead the Army of the Potomac across the Rapidan River
and march on Richmond. He had the manpower and equipment
to accomplish his objective, easily outnumbering Lee. Lee, on the
other hand, was far from beaten. The stage was set for one of the
defining campaigns of the Civil War in the East.
