Wargames Illustrated


Wargames Illustrated is a magazine dedicated to miniature wargaming which is focused on historical tabletop wargames. The monthly magazine has both paper and digital editions and maintains editorial, design and admin staff in the UK.
The magazine focuses on all parts of the gaming experience, reviewing new products, providing painting advice and producing campaign settings and researching historical battles. It is in a large part based on submission of content from wargaming enthusiasts around the world. An example of the latter is the article by Ryan Lavelle PhD, "Rethinking 'Saxon' Wargaming" in the April 2011 edition.
Wargames Illustrated was conceived and originally owned and edited by Duncan Macfarlane. In January 2009 Macfarlane sold the magazine to Battlefront Miniatures of New Zealand. Battlefront employed Dan Faulconbridge as the UK Editor and Dave Taylor as the US Editor. In May 2015 Battlefront Miniatures sold Wargames Illustrated Limited to UK Editor Dan Faulconbridge, who since then has been the sole owner, and Editor.
