Slingshot magazine

[martin goddard]

The latest edition of slingshot has arrived .
It is very good.
Obviously really only for those who are interested in ancient wars.

A good edition.

The slingshot "society"  (SOA) is planning to do a greek hoplite battle for its annual battle day.
This would be 2nd .  Mantinea.     25th March 2023.

The 362 battle  not the 418 battle (obviously )

Anyone interested in doing this with CK???

I think that's the same day that Stewart has pencilled in for MexRev at Entoyment?

It is Simon but the schedule is flexible , we can play what we want as we are adults (I think) we just play with toys

I was thinking of asking the SOA to reschedule their event to avoid the clash, Stewart

There you go - we've started a movement.

How about having a vote on it on Twitter?

The wise man should know the outcome of a vote before suggesting it.
Not knowing would be silly??

I hope Slingshot 342 appeals to a broad range of people

He'd have to be a right Twit, I think...

The SOA day would indeed be good, but I'm rather hoping to get to the Mex Rev day.

I am happy to go with the flow.
Talking of Stewart's battle days, Stewart did you send us a list for nexts years or did they appear on here ? As later this week I was going to put them on the Facebook groups !
Starting with the next HI day in January.

The Slingshot magazine is obviously for players of ancients games.
The magazine subscription also gives access to the discussion group, which is good.
Not sure what the annual price is, but I remember it as reasonable.
Someone will post it here I hope.

It's £27 annually .

One perk is you get discounts for quite a lot of figure manufacturers

Thanks Simon.
I had hoped someone would know easily.
Do you enjoy/recommend it?
