We take our monthly dive into the Vault and blow the virtual dust off some of the articles of yesteryear. Rulesets in the Vault! Before we get into the back issues, we want to draw your attention to a recent addition to the Vault. Our webby chap Joe has been adding various rulesets and other such goodies to the Vault that are free to Prime members. These used to be separate files that you would have to locate in our store, ‘purchase’ from the relevant pages, then locate on the downloads section of your member account in a different location. It can still be done this way (for now!) but it is, to be quite honest, a poor system that caused confusion and required too much clicking and faffing to get to the good stuff.

In our second theme piece we examine that year on the tabletop; various gaming bigwigs condense the post conquest aftermath into a campaign event. There’s a collection of inspiring photos to enjoy; various scenario ideas for SAGA, Hail Caesar, or your ruleset of choice; and a guide to making the Wharf and Welsh Borders boards that were played over. Wi232 - February 2007 In this issue Paul Davies covers the 940th anniversary re-enactment of the Battle of Hastings, providing a photographic perspective of events as they might have looked in real scale. Over 3,000 re-enactors from 18 countries put on an impressive display, recreating the battle. There are photos of minis to take in as well. The very next article in this issue - Uruk Hai Stand - is nothing to do with the Battle of Hastings but one we want to draw to the
