We’ve been having fun at work again, play testing the ‘fast play’ rules for our game at Salute. So far, they seem to work pretty well and we think you can have an enjoyable game whether you play for 15 minutes or 50! The setting is the North West Frontier, 1879. Inspired by a classic movie, the Anglo-Indian Army has been asked to help spirit a young Prince away to prevent his capture or murder by rebellious Afghan tribesmen. A steam train, Bengal Lancers, plucky Indian Army infantry, dastardly tribal cavalry and fanatical tribesmen, a cannon, a Gatling gun, and more, all feature in this epic colonial adventure which is Wargames Illustrated’s showcase game. See a cast of hundreds of figures by Artizan Designs, Foundry, Old Glory, Perry

Many boxes and parcels arrive here at WI HQ but when this shipping crate arrived, we weren’t entirely sure what was in it! Once we’d opened it up, we were suitably impressed to see the work of master model maker Dave Taylor. He’s created the Infamy Miniatures table for use at Salute and it looks stunning! This amazing playing surface is also featured in WI343, our May issue, which will be on pre-release at Salute. So, if you’re looking for a great Steampunk-themed game to try out on an awesome layout, pop over to stand TC10 and join in!

Here’s a 360 degree look at this year’s limited edition FREE figure for all subscribers (and re-subscribers) to Wargames Illustrated Print magazine at Salute 2016. This dashing young fellow has been exclusively sculpted for us by Michael Perry and will only ever be available at Salute, Historicon, Crisis 2016 and Tactica 2017. Young Winston saw action in Cuba, India, Sudan and South Africa in the 1890’s and our figure could be used for these and other late colonial tabletop campaigns.
