Battlegames magazine issue 19

The PDF version is identical to the original printed version other than minor alterations to update subscription information and indicate the new format. The file is 144dpi, sufficient to enable you to 'zoom in' on pictures and achieve a pleasing print-out at home.

Diane Sutherland gives us "Twiggy", a step-by-step explanation of how to make trees from, err, trees, and other ingredients.

Siggo's Forward Observer is very upbeat, perhaps because he's fallen back in love with Gilderesque painting styles. He also discusses the perennial problem of mates changing their minds about what periods to play, enthuses about Eureka miniatures, recounts more workbench disasters and, naturally, finds some new paints to get excited about.

Tim Hall takes us up a gear with "Supersize us", an introduction to large-scale gaming in 54mm, with some astounding models on show and superb photographs of his WWII collection, such as the one featured on the cover.

Wargamer and historian Chris Scott continues his series, "Talking wargaming", with "Orders and command", which includes some clever suggetions about how to include realistic order-writing into wargames, but without the hassle normally associated with them.

This time, it's Charles M Grant, the son of our favourite Brigadier, who provides the Table Top Teaser. Gaining the initiative, or "The morning after the night before" is designed to make you plan ahead, as a small initial encounter precedes a larger action the following day, with the outcome of the skirmish affecting the battle that follows. Tricky stuff!

"Cold Wars" is the result of some lateral thinking by one of our brightest wargames minds, Arthur Harman. They say that cooling the brain helps it to work better, so dump those fridge magnets and read on!

Royal Marines Major Dave Fielder features in our Recce section too, but he's also penned an excellent scenario for the mid-19th century enthusiasts: Solferino 1859 is the subject of "A major engagement", a substantial grand tactical challenge for wargamers who prefer to play at being a general than a brigadier.

Arthurian scholar Dan Mersey is back with "Badon and beyond", an enthusiastic introduction to gaming this particular slice of the Dark Ages. Prepare to be amazed at his clever use of GW Lord of the Rings miniatures and masses of useful information and resources for the wargamer wanting to try the period.

Antipodean John Baxter pays a visit to highly-regarded company Eureka Miniatures in Australia in "The wargaming collective". Most of us in the UK and elsewhere get to hear very little about what's going on Down Under, so this piece gives us a refreshing insight into the extraordinary output of this top-rate outfit.

Recce is a bit shorter this time, though still packed with erudite reviews by respected gamers. The reason is that I'm going to be changing the way we review miniatures — and believe me, I've got quite a backlog to catch up with next issue!

The calendar of events supplied by Tricks of the Newark Irregulars covers events in September and October worldwide.

An update for our Battlegames Combat Stress Appeal, including news on how many different groups are now helping the cause.

This PDF version is priced at 50% of the original printed version, making it affordable for gamers everywhere.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
