Having trouble viewing the flipbook magazine? View and download it instead! Insurgency. Noun. An insurgency is a violent attempt to oppose a country’s government carried out by citizens of that country. A great background to a wargame. The first part of the above quote comes from the Collins English Dictionary, the second part comes from us. Insurgency is the theme of this month’s magazine. It’s one of our theme ideas that is hopefully broad enough to appeal to everyone, and exciting enough to spark an interest in any wargamer. We’ve got some great insurgency-inspired articles for you, having scoured the history books and various rulesets, we are taking in: the French Resistance during World War Two, the Boxer Rebellion, and the Makhnovist Insurgency during the Russian Civil War. We begin our dive into wargaming insurgencies with Chasing the Wind on page 30, in which Pete Brown sets the scene for gaming “violent attempts to oppose a country’s government” with the help of some exclusive photos of Perry Miniatures’ new Napoleonic Spanish Guerrillas, also seen below. We are also big on 3D printing this month. We continue to expand WiDigital with new 3D print files available for our WiPrime members, which we detail on page 36, but we also take a wider look at the world of 3D printing with the help of our probing reporter Dom Sore (page 85), and we share our own journey into a future method of miniature production with Growing an Army from Scratch on page 36. Oh, and don’t miss the results of the Wargames Illustrated 2022 Awards - as voted for by you - on page 50. QUICK FIRE! Modelling 'shorts' from your fellow wargamers.
