Wargames, Soldiers & Strategy issue 64

If you get the latest issue of the WS&S magazine you can check out my review of By Fire & Sword, naturally a shortened "bare essentials" version compared to the multi part review on my blog. I was given a chance to write a review and had one page at my disposal so I had to practice cutting down my review to what is most important (otherwise I usually try to cover everything).

There is also an interesting column by Steven MacLauchlan (from WWPD.net) on tournament gaming and how tournament gamers are perceived by casual gamers (in the wrong way).

And then a truly great column by Richard Clarke on rulebook now and back in the days, talking about the economics of rulebooks and how they have grown out of proportion. Very good and insightful column that points out the downside of having super cool and crisp rulebooks.

As usual WS&S has packed the magazine with great battle reports, articles, amazing pictures of well painted miniatures and terrain. This particular issue focuses on medieval/renaissance/18th century content, so if you are into any of those or just curious about the magazine check it out.
