Title: The Slingshot ancients magazine
Post by: martin goddard on September 29, 2025, 05:09:43 PM
Slingshot has just produced it's 360th edition.
At 6 editions per year, this gives 60 years.

I belonged in the mid 1970s (very WRG) and joined again in 2021 (A4 size).
If you are interested in ancient wargaming, then this is for you.

They also organise ancient orientated gaming events. The battle day in 2026
is on Sunday 29th March.The battle is Cunaxa. Persians v Persians with the Greeks in support. We can organise it during the early part of 2026 for those interested. Newbury.

Last year it was the battle of Maldon (vikings v English)run by Miles, Simon, Nigel and myself. I highly recommend this event.

Previously we sent a party to do WOTR at their event.

Is the 2026 Battle Day in the same place as this year, Martin? I can't yet see any details on their website.

I think they have not "properly" announced it yet, but yes it is at the same time.
Persian with Greeks v Persians.
I will need to sculpt a Persian range of course.
Are you up for it?

On the basis of "if you sculpt it, I'll play it", I think I am  ;)

[subject to any family commitments that may raise their ugly heads nearer the time...]

Then there is a plan.
Maybe the others are keen to go back for a Cunaxa battle as well?
