Having trouble viewing the flipbook magazine? View and download it instead! We’re celebrating our 400th issue by giving all you lucky readers access to the previous 399 magazines online (via WiPrime) PLUS a free copy of Wargames World 6 - an online, PDF only, bonus magazine - again accessible via WiPrime. For those who don’t know, WiPrime is our online members club, and throughout April everyone can access gratis. Let me quickly mention the (not so) ‘small print’ of the deal - to sign up to WiPrime you will need to set up an account, but you won’t start paying until the following month, and you won’t pay anything at all if you don’t want to continue your membership - you can cancel before it renews and still access all the great content. That’s the propaganda out of the way (don’t worry there’s more on page 10!), now let me tell you a bit about your other freebie, bagged with this magazine. Death in the Dark Continent (DitDC) is a set of wargames rules which was first self-published back in 2010 by author Chris Peers. They were then re-released in 2018 as an all-singing, all-dancing hardback by North Star. We’ve now taken some of the singing and dancing out, and are giving DitDC away to all our lovely readers as a ‘Lite’ version of the game. It contains all the main rules from the hardback version, minus loads of the background, some advanced rules, and most of the Army Lists. We’re quite evangelical about DitDC here at Wargames Illustrated. It really is a great set of rules which, if you’ve not played them before, will take your wargaming to exotic new locations and introduce you to loads of potential new armies and nations. If you have played before, DitDC Lite will act as a great Quick Reference Guide. Find out more about the game from its original creator, by turning to page 16. That’s just about all I’ve got room for here, and I’ve not even mentioned what’s inside the magazine! Happy reading and rolling! Dan Falconbridge Editor and Owner QUICK FIRE! Readers’ short, sharp wargames projects. FULL PAPER JACKET Our monthly look at new and forthcoming wargames related books. AN INVITATION TO DITDC LITE What’s it all about - that free ruleset you received with this issue of the magazine? The game’s designer Chris Peers reveals all. 50 AND 400 Wargames Illustrated’s Editor gets reflective and takes us on a tour of some of the highlights and ‘oddlights’ of the last 399 issues.
