Battlegames magazine issue 20

ADD TO WISHLIST >

The PDF version is identical to the original printed version other than minor alterations to update subscription information and indicate the new format. The file is 144dpi, sufficient to enable you to 'zoom in' on pictures and achieve a pleasing print-out at home.

With one of her husband Jonathan's photos featured on the front cover, Diane Sutherland gives us "A brush with Mr Kipling". More than simply a guide to bad poetry, this is an in-depth look at ingenious ways to turn interesting comestible packaging into fortifications suitable for your colonial adventures. You'll never look at a dolmades tin or ice cream tub in the same way again.

Mike Siggins has plenty of praise to give Keith Warren and his Real Time Wargames campaign rules in "Forward observer", moving on to discuss Pete Waterman (yes, really!), the Treemendus way of miniature arboriculture, enforced frugality in the hobby, competing direct-application pigments, and the new Wundermaterial, Reddiprene 38.

Gary Mitchell takes a breather from his new post over at Miniature Wargames to bring us "Gaming the balance, a fascinating alternative WWII scenario that pitches the Walmington-on-Sea Home Guard against invading reptilians, based on the Harry Turtledove World War novels. More than a little tongue-in-cheek, this gives scope for you to prove that "they don't like it up 'em!" as you digest your mince pies.

Wargamer and historian Chris Scott continues his thought-provoking series, "Talking wargaming", with "Invincible squares?", in which he draws to our attention the historically inconvenient fact that a good number of squares proved not to be impregnable at all.

The Table Top Teaser this time is a real belter. Get ready to make some maps for "An affair of outposts — an introduction to map moving" in which two advance guards do their best to find and defeat the enemy and then hold their ground. A proper challenge to your wargaming skills, and the biggest Teaser map I've had to create yet!

"If it ain't broke..." is new writer Robin Miles' paean to the Wargames Research Group's 5th Edition rules. More than just a journey into nostalgia, Robin plays through a Macedonians versus Seleucids scenario to help explain why he feels that this venerable ruleset still has much to offer.

My own pen gets an increasingly rare outing to recount "A visit to Osprey Publishing". Earlier this year, I accepted an invitation from Osprey marketeer Joe McCullough to meet the team behind this well-known publishing brand, ask lots of impertinent questions and explore the treasure trove of goodies held in their vaults. And, as a bonus, I got to play a Wild West game after lunch!

Another newcomer sees their name in lights this issue, with a wonderful piece dealing not only with the Salonika campaign of 1915-17, but also with how he managed to research the part that his own ancestor played in that conflict where he lost his life. "Trapped in the birdcage" by Barry Lee is not only informative. but also inspiring, with photos of some of his beautifully-painted WWI miniatures.

Recce is truly crammed, and I still couldn't fit everything in! Books, games, miniatures, rules, glues — the list goes on and on. I've also instituted the new format with photographs provided of the miniatures reviewed that are actual size wherever possible.

Then of course we have the calendar of events supplied by Tricks of the Newark Irregulars, an update for our Battlegames Combat Stress Appeal, which includes some exciting news, and, to round things off, messages from your favourite advertisers.

This PDF version is priced at 50% of the original printed version, making it affordable for gamers everywhere.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
