Karwansaray Publishing: Wargames, Soldiers & Strategy Issue 69 Now Available


Karwansaray Publishing: The most recent edition of WS&S is on its way to subscribers around the world, and will be in U.K. stores starting on Friday. In this issue, we'll be looking back several decades to the Cold War era, a time of fear and uncertainty that many still remember. 


We'll take a look at the strategies, tactics and doctrines of a conflict between West and East that never officially happened.

  • The theme includes the following articles:
  • An introduction to the Cold War
  • The hypothetical conflict at Fulda Gap
  • Khrushchev versus Kennedy in a 60s matrix game
  • An analysis of Soviet doctrine for wargamers, written by Allen E. Curtis
  • The use of WMDs in wargaming: rulesets that do it, and is it even a good idea?
  • Spetsnaz: painting the cover diorama.

For those not interested in the Cold War, there are also plenty of non-theme articles, including the following:

  • A little battle from the Scottish Border Wars
  • Scenario and analysis: A more realistic approach to Napoleonic light cavalry
  • Long Range Desert Group card-driven random encounter game
  • Making unified armies from scattered sources
  • Really good-looking gaming mats
  • Columns by Rick Priestley, Richard Clarke, and Mark Latham
  • Let's play Longstreet
  • Free Download: Cards for Long Range Desert Group
  • …and much more!
