In this issue, we are pleased to present the results of the 2025 Wargames Illustrated Readers’ Awards. Over 3,700 of you voted for your favourites in six different categories, including Hobby Hero. Turn to page 20 for the big reveal, plus an interview with your proud Hero on page 26.

Away from the glitz and glamour of the awards, you will find 13 articles covering a wide range of gaming and hobby topics, such as painting with markers, wargaming in Burma, demo game prep for Salute, and product reviews. We know our readers appreciate a good mix of subjects, and I am sure you will find that this issue delivers.

We’ve got so much content we squeezed in this month, in fact, that our Trench Crusade battle report, mentioned in last month’s magazine, was squeezed out! You can look forward to that in the April issue.
