In a somewhat chaotic episode, Angus, Guy, Jasper, and Mark discuss the role of terrain in wargaming, and specifically that of bridges. Our discussion was inspired on Henry Hyde's article in WSS 104 — he is writing an evaluation based on several games played for the next issue — and the latest issue of Ancient Warfare, which looks at the influence of geography on warfare in ancient history.
Ancient Warfare XIII-2 coming soon
Shortly expected from the printer, the latest edition of Ancient Warfare takes a broad approach, by looking at the general role of geography and topography in ancient warfare. From the famous example of Thermopylae, to the landscape of the Catalaunian Fields, issue XIII-2 cuts a wide swath across the ancient world.

Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy 104 coming soon.
Now at the printer, the new issue of Wargames, Soldiers & Strategy has a theme focused on the late-1944 campaigns to capture the Dutch towns of Overloon and Venray from the Germans. Both the Americans and British took part, using lots of heavy weapons and armour, so this is a great issue for gamers who love 'getting all their toys on the table'. Other coverage in issue 104 includes a 'lessons learnt' look at the recent Waterloo Replayed event, the second part in our Napoleonic Austrian campaign, and playthrough for Warlord's new ancient game, SPQR. You can pre-order your copy today for a slight discount and the fastest possible delivery.
