Spanish Blue Division Intelligence Briefing goes Official A big thanks to all the feedback from the Blue Division fans that helped make this intelligence briefing represent the Spanish in German service. There are a few changes made since it first went up Under Review. These changes now give the briefing a unique feel that should make it very different to play from your average Mid-war Grenadierkompanie in Flames Of War.   Fielding the Spanish Blue division in Flames Of War...

Tank Combat Squadron (FRAB01) The tanks of France’s mechanised divisions have thicker armour and bigger guns than the Germans, giving you a huge advantage in a head-to-head fight. The German’s may try to out manoeuvre you, but they can’t out run your armour-piercing shot! Tank Combat Squadron (FRAB01)...

What's New on the Wargames Illustrated Website This month Wargames Illustrated takes a look at the one of the most influential weapons of all time, the Warbow (or longbow as it became known). The outstanding skill of the English and Welsh archers of the 14th and 15th Centuries transformed a weapon that was essentially a piece of weed and string into a decisive, battle-winning piece of technology. Here on the website we follow this theme by revisiting a range of War of the Roses articles pulled from our archives. Paul Davies takes a look at building Medieval Tents and we include a downloadable set of plans for his Spanish Convent (from WI275). He also went photo mad at Battlegroup South’s Bovington 2010 event and we have the pictures to prove it. After that we take a trip to Italy with a web extra for John Bianchi’s great article and then lastly we have a range of reviews and a showcase of Osprey’s new releases!
