The theme of Wargames, Soldiers & Strategy issue 74 is operation Market Garden. It contains ten full scenarios (a linked campaign for four of those) at platoon and company level and suggestions for a whole lot more.
Aside from this notorious WW2 operation, there are excursions to the Seven Years War in India, Montrose’s campaign in Scotland, the Iliad, Game of Thrones and terrain making. Finally, it’s the first issue of WS&S with a 15mm cover vignette – what’s not to like!
