Slingshot issue 320

THE September/October 2018 issue of the journal of the Society of Ancients arrived last week, which means new Editor Justin Swanton is keeping to his promise of reducing the publication backlog.

The cover shows a Command & Colors battle between Syracuse and Carthage (not referenced in the magazine!)

The most interesting articles, for me, are Nicholas Spratt on medieval Tibetan armies, Periklis Deligiannis on Athenian fleets and Chris Hahn on Hussite war wagons.

RETURNED from a trip to Trebic in the Czech Republic to find two magazines waiting for me: the October/November issue of Toy Soldier Collector and the July/August issue of Slingshot.

Two magazines … two striking covers

TSC is full of mouth-watering pix. Perhaps the most interesting article is about the collection of Brigadier General Ray Bell, but in general (ouch!) I found more than usual to grab my attention.
Slingshot is also better than usual, and that is really saying something. Mick Hession's Kinging It In Ulster (part two), Patrick Waterson's War Elephants and Keith Flint's Becoming An Ancients Wargamer are all great reads.
I just wish battle reports included (more) pix, but that may improve as the Editor is trying to address the problem.
