Having trouble viewing the flipbook magazine? View and download it instead! Valour & Fortitude was first given away free with the October 2022 issue of Wargames Illustrated. We followed that up in October 2023 with the second edition of V&F - free with Wi430. So, it would make sense to follow up again in October 2024 with the third edition... only we don’t need to. The second edition of Jervis Johnson and the Perry’s rules is as close to ‘spot on’ as they can get it, so there is no need for a third edition (famous last words); instead we bring you the Valour & Fortitude Army Sheet Compendium, which contains Army Sheets/stats for the American Civil War, the Franco-Prussian War, and the First Carlist War. It is possible to expand the scope of V&F by ‘simply’ adding Army Sheets for different periods and conflicts, and over the last year Jervis has been doing just that for those mentioned above, plus the American War of Independence and the War of the Triple Alliance. All (bar one) of these additional Army Sheets are available for free download from the Perry Miniatures website, but we wanted to treat existing and potential V&F players to a printed Compendium of some of those most desirable sheets. There’s also a brand new and exclusive set, in the form of those for the First Carlist War. You will also find fan produced Army Sheets for the Indian Rebellion/Munity on page 42. Beyond our Valour & Fortitude coverage, we have plenty more to wet your wargaming whistle inside this issue, including painting horses, prohibition gangsters, gaming and modelling with full-colour MDF buildings, Billhooks in Poland, fan analysis of Bolt Action Third Edition, and more. Happy reading and rolling.
