Review of Ragnarok 60

SFSFW have released issue 60 of their journal Ragnarok.

This issue has some great articles and among my favourites are: an Aeronef Campaign set in the Dark Continent, a scenario for Land Ironclads set during the British invasion of France, a variant for Zombies!!! that pits one against a horde of Triffids, and an article regarding gaming in a Battlestar Galactica setting.

Issue 60 continues the new format started in #59 and the editor (Steve Blease of Wessex Games fame) has done a great job with it.   Its clear, crisp and easy to read with lots of nice colour pics throughout.

Highly Recommended -  get your copy from Wargame Vault, or you can join SFSFW here:

Tis a week to be Published!

Hot on the heels of the release Aeronef over the Aegean, I received my copy of Ragnarok 56 today. And a cracking read it is BTW!

In there in the Melting Pot section (for miniatures reviews) was a review I did of Brigade Model's HMVS Cerberus which I put together last year and frankly forgotten about! So my first modest written contibution to SFSFW has been published (I have had a picture in there before)- open the Gin!

BTW - one of the two surviving Guns from Cerberus lies less than a km from my new house!

Ragnarok 55 out and about

The latest SFSFW magazine has been released and the mail packet delivered some to the colonies yesterday. Two particular VSF treats in this edition:

Firstly, an Aeronef scenario set in the Franco-Prussian War of 1871 which pits a combined Franco-Swiss force against some aggressive Germanic types. Nice!

And secondly, the back cover sports a pic of Wessex's (infamous) Battle of the Pyramids which was taken by me at Salute back in 2001 (when I met Mssr Blease). OK, its not a major drawcard but I was chuffed to see it there!
