Prussians, Prussians everywhere: on the new plastic frame from Perry Miniatures (page 50), invading England (page 60), fighting communism (page 78), and indeed lots of other locations thanks to our Prussia at War intro article on page 32. Most importantly, there are Prussians on the cover of this magazine* in the form of Black Powder Epic Waterloo Prussians, courtesy of Warlord Games. You can find out how to paint these swiftly (page 44) or smartly (page 68) via our handy guides.

Away from Prussia, and the content of this magazine in general, I would just like to take a moment to brag about the fact that Wargames Illustrated magazine has been shortlisted for the UK National Magazine Awards! By the time you read this, the award ceremony will have taken place at a swanky hotel in London, and I will either have already been showing off about winning or been suspiciously quiet about not. We are up for an award in the Specialist Magazine category, competing against Airfix Magazine and Motorcycle News. Wish us luck!
