Hyboria (10)

The last article in the Hyboria series as pubished in Battle For Wargamers in 1978. The articles about Hyboria continued in Military Modelling magazine, but sadly, I do not have those issues. I tried a web search for scanned content, but no luck so far. If someone can help me out, I would greatly appreciate it!

What's still to come? The article written by Tony Bath about Hyboria, published in White Dwarf #4.

See also the page I made about Hyboria.

Hyboria (2)

Here's the 2nd installment of Tony Bath's series of articles on his Hyboria campaign that were published in Battle for Wargamers (see here for an index).

This article contains a description of the character generation system, something that was a precursor to character generation in later roleplaying games, and is again testimony of the many radical ideas that Tony Bath pioneered.

Hyboria

I recently received a large donation of Battle for Wargamers for my indexing project. All magazine shave been entered some time ago, so maybe now it's time to provide the discerning connaisseur wargamer with some selected content.

The first article is from Tony Bath, and describes his classic Hyboria campaign, from the January 1978 issue. I've always been an admirer of how Bath managed to pull this off and setting the scene for what was to come hobby wargaming. In a sense, he has been a more influential figure on the hobby than Don Featherstone, but perhaps we should discuss that over a pint of (Belgian) beer ...

Recent additions to the magazine index

I finished adding my remaining copies of Practical Wargamer to the Magazine Index. Only 6 issues are missing in my collection now, which I am currently hunting down on 2nd hand sites.

The missing issues are: March-April 1994, September-October 1995, November-December 1995,  Vol 11/2, Vol 11/6, Vol 11/9, Vol 13/1 (Although I am not quite sure Vol 11/9 does exist. It's a bit hard to recreate since a number of issues didn't have a proper date on them).

So if you have one of those issues to donate, please let me know!

I also have added the first issue of Battle For Wargamers, dated October 1977, and will add more issues in the coming days.
