Having trouble viewing the flipbook magazine? View and download the PDF instead. Time flies by when you’re the editor of a weekly magazine*. Bite-Size number Issue 3 is already upon us, or rather upon you (we’re already working on Issue 4!). This week we have another four new articles for you, and a wider range of topics you are not likely to find: World War Two German infantry, the War of 1812, Swedes in the Great Northern War and high fantasy from Osprey Games. We also have our regular weeklies in the form of: Wargaming in the Time of Coronavirus, this week featuring Rick Priestley, Bite-Size Banter and a great Not Appearing at Salute game. If you are missing the feel of the papery pages of Wargames Illustrated beneath your fingers, fear not, because we have tentatively earmarked the July issue as our printed comeback. So, barring any stricter lockdown restrictions here in the UK Wi391 should be with you in late June, fingers crossed. I will keep you posted on all developments and whilst the paper remains on the roll we will keep striving to entertain you with your weekly Bite-Size fix of Wi. Stay safe in the unpredictability of the new normality (as the saying goes). All the best, Dan Faulconbridge, WI Editor and Owner. BITE-SIZE BANTER We’re back with more of your lockdown observations, tips, projects and general Bite-size banter. Let’s take a look at what your fellow wargamers have been up to over the last week... WARGAMING IN THE TIME OF CORONAVIRUS We continue our series by hearing from the man who is the League of Augsburg and Warfare Miniatures, Barry Hilton. NOT APPEARING AT SALUTE 2020 In our continuing series of articles on games that were scheduled for, but didn’t appear, at Salute 2020, we catch up with Gary Williams, author of Wellington at Bay, who had an excellent (and little know) Napoleonic battle-ready for presentation at the show. BATTLES OF THE LOST AGE Oathmark author Joseph A. McCullough joined us at WiHQ (pre-lockdown!) for a game of tabletop high fantasy. His report provides a great introduction to the mechanics of the game. PROJECT SHOWCASE: “HUNDE, WOLLT IHR EWIG LEBEN?” Having seen the work of Jürgen Horn via an email shared by the friend of a friend, we contacted this talented German painter/modeller and asked him to tell us about the force he is putting together from the Bolt Action Stalingrad book. “A MERE MATTER OF MARCHING!” OR IF YOU PREFER, THE WAR OF 1812-15 David Bickley introduces us to the War of 1812 via his expanding collection of figures for this colourful ‘Napoleonic’ conflict.
