With issue 13 now back from the printers and smelling lovely as usual, it's time for me to deliver the next PDF issue as promised, so issue 5 (originally published November/December 2006) is now on sale at the Battlegames shop here.

Battlegames issue 5 PDF version front cover

A reminder of the contents:

  • A return to the Sudan. Jim Purky (Personal logo Der Alte Fritz Supporting Member of TMP) gets his hands on the Gilder collection of Sudan miniatures and plays in the Grand Manner.
  • Dave Robotham finishes Modelling 10mm WWII Paras in his step-by-step guide.
  • From battle to battlegame. Ross Macfarlane explains how he translates a historical battle onto the tabletop.
  • One rule for one... Lee Swift outlines his helpful hints for writing your own wargames rules.
  • Bob Barnetson and Bruce McFarlane give us a programmed campaign to play Hitler's planned invasion of Britain, Operation Sealion.
  • C.S. Grant brings us a terrific Table Top Teaser that will have you hunting for treasure.
  • Asquith's way. Stuart Asquith talks about the periods he doesn't like to play, and why.
  • Mike Siggins has plenty to say about plastics in Forward Observer.
  • Snowballs at Brienne. Arthur Harman gives us our free game this issue - a snowball fight featuring a young Napoleon!
  • In my Wars of the Faltenian Succession episode, I write about creating a fictitious economy for campaign rules.
  • Guy Hancock pushes for more interesting scenery to fight your battles over in his regular fantasy & sci-fi column, To boldly go.
  • A huge Recce section, with reviews of many new books, products and figures.
  • And the Larry Leadhead guys give us a little seasonal special.

As an aside, I look forward to meeting more readers at To the Redoubt in Eastbourne on the weekend of 26th/27th of this month, and again at A Whiff of Grapeshot at the Royal Artillery Museum in Woolwich on 10th August.

Have a great summer!
