Ancient Warfare ... more than just a stab in the right direction |
My wargaming is almost as diverse as my interest in history, but my most-recent big project was the War of the Austrian Succession with 10mm armies of nine combatant nations. I have also recently played many scenarios from Mike Lambo's solo battle books, created Franco-Prussian War armies with plastic 54mm toy soldiers, and fought scenarios from Airfix Battles with plastic green-and-tan Army Men. My latest big project is biblical-era battles in 10mm.

Ancient Warfare - Jul/Aug 2019
ISSUE 1 of volume XIII of Ancient Warfare magazine is themed on "hired help from overseas - Hellenistic mercenary armies meddling in Magna Graecia," and is the best history and/or wargaming magazine I have read for a long time.
I found every article full of interest, with the notable exception of one supposedly on ancient combined arms, but in fact concentrating on modern combined arms (ominously, we are told it is the first part of a series - but maybe future parts will get round to actually discussing ancient warfare).
