DUNCAN MACFARLANE 1948 – 2021 It is with great sadness that I have to announce the death of Duncan Macfarlane. Duncan was the original owner and editor of Wargames Illustrated, first publishing the magazine in August 1987, after having previously been the editor of Miniature Wargames. Duncan passed away suddenly but peacefully on 28 May 2021, aged 73. He will be sadly missed by all those that knew him, and those within the hobby that didn't have the good fortune to call him a friend will doubtless be aware of the debt of gratitude owed to him as both an innovator and stalwart of wargaming. A full and proper obituary to Duncan will be forthcoming both online and in the pages of Wargames Illustrated magazine. So long Dunc, thank you for all the memories. Dan Faulconbridge

I used to see him at US based wargame shows busily taking photos and talking to folks. He was a huge contributor to the hobby and gave inspiration to many of us through his magazines. RIP… |

So sad I was only talking to him about Hinchliffe a few weeks ago, the man was a gentleman, one of the people in the hobby who I found always ready to help, interesting to spend an evening for a meal or a drink talking about a myriad number of subjects. He will be sadly missed |

Duncan was one of the people I always looked forward to seeing at the HMGS events. Great guy who will be sadly missed. |

This is very sad news indeed. Duncan was a good friend and was most helpful to me in getting my model making business up and running. We spent many days and hours together and time with Duncan was always enjoyable and pleasant. He will be greatly missed! |
