WSS Issue 96 - The raid on St. Albans



"To go along with the theme of Wargames, Soldiers & Strategy 96, which looks at raiding actions during the American Civil War, we picked a rather interesting little scenario for your amusement. What happens when a group of Confederate rascals force their way into a sleepy Vermont town, intent on stealing all the money they can for the Southern cause? And did we mention that the Canadians also end up getting involved?"

The theme for this issue are Raiding actions during the American Civil War. You can for free download my contribution the the Theme "The raid on St. Albans" on the WSS Online, I hope you like it.

The latest issue 96 of Wargames Soldiers and Strategy are in the post to all subscribers, some fortunate could pick up their copy at Salute. If you are not a subscriber and want a copy you can order it here.

WSS Issue 92 - The British-Swedish Paper War



The latest Wargames Soldiers and Strategy, issue 92,  has a British Napoleonic theme and my article about the British-Swedish Paper War with a What if scenario for the Sharp Practice rules are up at the WSS-online for download as a .pdf file.

"Believe it or not, the British navy occupied a small portion of Sweden between the years of 1810 and 1812. Even though they had previously been allies, a treaty with the French in 1810 would ultimately force the Swedes to declare war on the English in order to uphold the terms of the agreement. Luckily, this war turned out to be bloodless. However, in our online article for issue 92, the author imagines what might have happened if the Swedes had decided to take a more aggressive stance towards the small garrison of British sailors occupying a tiny corner of their homeland."

As you might already know I have in Wargaming, Soldiers and Strategy Issue-86 two the articles "The Finnish War of 1808 - The boy versus the bear" and also "History and rules for Sharp Practice - The Swedish Army, 1805-09". The first one are background and Scenarios revolving around a Young Swedish Artillery officer that died a heroic death.
