GENERAL MINIATURES MAGAZINES:
Miniature Wargames

Remember the Raisin!	A two-part, seven-page article about the two battles at Frenchtown, during the War of 1812. Part One provided history and strategic maps, while Part Two gave the tabletop maps. Part One was illustrated with two large color photos, showing games in progress.
A Wargame Too Far?	A two-part combined scenario-and- battle-report of a skirmish-level game based on Operation Market Garden (WWII). The author explains why he likes his homebrew rules. Three color photos, apparently posed rather than from games in progress.
The Battle of Olustee	A battle from the American Civil War, set in Florida in 1864. About 5,000 troops per side. Four color photos showing figures posed as if in battle, revealing some great paint jobs. Four pages.
A Pill-Box With Walls Of Steel	A 5-page skirmish-level scenario from WWI, pitting the crew of a crippled British tank versus a German machine-gun section. Custom rules provided.
The Cherokee Wars, 1759 to 1761	An overview of the southern Theatre of the French and Indian Wars, followed by scenarios for Lyttletons Expedition (a what-if situation pitting the Cherokees against a British encampment) and the Long Canes Massacre (a skirmish-level battle as mounted Cherokees attack a wagon train at a river ford). Seven pages, including two large color photos of Long Canes in progress, and two pages' worth of maps. (This was Part One; we haven't seen Part Two yet.)
On Bosworth Field	A 3-page article about wargaming Richard III's death ride as a solitaire, skirmish-level game. (I found this article rather incomprehensible, even missing the Command Chart which allows the game to be played solo.) One large color photo, posed.
The River Luhe, 1626	A two-page Thirty Years War scenario that "...might, but probably didn't..." take place. (Whatever that means.) The outnumbered Danes under Christian IV must prevent the Imperialist (Catholic) force from crossing the river. No scale is provided for the map, though it is gridded into squares (1' squares?). Large color photo of a game in progress, "tidied up" for the camera (i.e., bases covered with flocking so you don't see them...).
Marye's Heights, Fredericksburg	A 4-page scenario depicting Burnside's corps-level assault on Marye's Heights (American Civil War, Battle of Fredericksburg). Article includes tabletop map, and four large color photos (figures posed as if wargaming). The article provides statistics and special rules which are obviously intended for a specific rules system, though no rules system is mentioned. (For instance, a typical leader might be listed as "average, benefit 1, points 3," while regiments are listed in terms of figures rather than actual numbers of men.)
The Blasted Heath	A skirmish-level fantasy scenario for any number of players, divided between Good (rescuers) and Evil (kidnappers). Each player initially controls one wizard, one hero, and ten soldiers, though random reinforcements are received at random locations as the game transpires. Special events occur at several map locations, should the players use various magical artifacts. The scenario is marred by the two Random Troop tables (left out) and the poorly explained map (I've finally deduced that the "T" stands for Tower, not the Temple which is at "F," and I have no idea what the "named house[s]" are).

Not every article is a wargames scenario, however. There are roughly three non-scenario articles in a typical issue of Military Wargames. A sprinking of recent non-scenario articles include --

Each issue also contains several regular Features --

Summing it all up, Military Wargames is a professional magazine which provides a wide variety of gaming material, chiefly of the ready-to-play variety. If your tastes are wide-ranging (as are mine), you'll find something of interest in every issue.
