What a special treat we have for you lucky people this month! Bagged free with the printed issue of Wargames Illustrated magazine (and included as a PDF for WiPrime Members) we have a complete and exclusive set of wargames rules by one of the world’s premier tabletop battle games designers; Jervis Johnson – his first set of rules since retiring from Games Workshop in 2021. Valour & Fortitude is a collaboration between Wargames Illustrated, Jervis, and Alan and Michael Perry. Personally, I’m very proud that Wi has been able to be a part of the V&F project; it’s been a joy working with the aforementioned gaming luminaries and I hope you enjoy the fruits of our labours. I’ll quickly run through all the V&F content you in this issue to make sure you don’t miss out on anything:

1. The Valour & Fortitude Rules Booklet – containing all the rules you need to play big battle Napoleonics, presented in a no-frills, concise and clear manner.
2. The Battle of Wurzen Scenario – a V&F scenario set during a ‘what if?’ version of Napoleon’s campaign in Germany, 1813.
3. The Battle of Wurzen Playthrough. A photo-heavy account of the Perrys’ own Wurzen battle, featuring some marvellous photos by Alan Perry, written by Jervis.
4. Army Lists and Special Rules, for the French and Prussians, to get you started with V&F.

Your Valour & Fortitude coverage extends beyond this magazine, with more Army Lists (Russian and Austrian) and a PDF version of the rules available to download for free from the Perry Miniatures website: perry-miniatures.com.

We hope you enjoy everything Valour & Fortitude has to offer and we have much more in the magazine besides: an interview with sculpting genius Mark Copplestone about his new range of neo-retro interwar figures, World War Two night raids from Grey for Now Games, Desert War painting, Britcon, and more!
