FORWARD OBSERVER

What’s up and coming in (mostly) historical wargaming. This month we cover new rules (Swordpoint and The Pikeman’s Lament), wargaming holidays and terrain mats along with other items including a list of up and coming shows.

SEND THREE AND FOURPENCE

Beating the Mechanical Turk. Solo wargaming using The Men Who Would be Kings. Conrad Kinch gives us a scenario for this new rule set to enable solo play in Afghanistan, based on the mechanics already in the rules with a few twists of his own.

WARGAMING MY WAY

Andy Copestake, away from the Glory. Andy – main man at Old Glory UK – talks about his appreciation of the hobby and walks us through both his thoughts and his collection.

PUISSANT PIKE

Easy rules for small English Civil War battles. Arthur Harman gives us a simple – yet complete - set of Pike and Shot rules for the table top in any scale which he has used with his Year VI pupils who were studying the English Civil War.

And much more!
