Disneyland Paris is 20 years old this year – and I’m sure Micky, Minnie and Pluto will party down with the best of them. It is easy to forget now just how controversial ‘Eurodisney’ was when it opened way back in 1992. A large section of French opinion thought it was too Americanised and one…

From the Department of It Seemed Like A Good Idea At the Time, come these wargames-themed T-shirts. Now, don’t get me wrong, there’s nothing wrong with the shirts – but the choice of models for them is causing some hilarity in the blogosphere. It’s not often I’d want to be a fly on the wall…

It’s not often that wargaming gets into the news – and that is largely a function of the poor PR skills of the average wargames manufacturer.

Gavin Syme of Alternative Armies/15mm.co.uk is an avid reader of MW. So avid, in fact, that as soon as he heard the new issue was out, he dashed to the shops to pick up a copy. He then equally avidly posted his review of the mag on his blog, so without further ado, here’s Gavin’s…

Gavin Syme, Creative Manager of Alternative Armies and its sister brand 15mm.co.uk, has very kindly reviewed the latest issue of MW on his blog. The highlights: Cover Story: Modest forbids me from mentioning the author’s name! “The article covers rioting from all angles, all forces involved, all weapons, tactics and so on before giving suggestions…

Frosty the Showman thawed out sufficiently for the Hammerhead show last Sunday. This is not a huge event but, as it’s only down the road from me in Newark, is worth the journey. It is also an unusual show as it started out as a sci-fi & fantasy event before branching out into historical wargaming…

Of all the times for Mother Nature to dump half a foot of the white stuff on the country, the night before a major show is one of the worst for her to choose. Thus it was that on Saturday night I was in two minds whether or not to make the 180 mile round…

It’s been a fairly quiet start to 2012 – hence the light blogging – but I am now able to reveal some really big news. Atlantic has given the go ahead for the launch of an independent sci-fi and fantasy gaming magazine to be called Darker Horizons. This builds on the successful and popular column…
