Battlegames Table Top Teasers Special Edition
With issue 15 of the magazine proving one of the most popular ever, attention has turned to the Table Top Teasers Special Edition which has just been handed to the printers.
Charles Grant’s Table Top Teasers have become a regular feature in Battlegames since its inception in 2006, but they have a history which goes much farther back, to their first appearance in Battle for Wargamers in February 1978.
In this first special volume of Table Top Teasers, we celebrate that heritage by reproducing the very first Teaser ever, together with the first twelve of the Battlegames Teasers and, following a discussion of the use of historical battles as the basis for scenarios, a brand new Teaser based on the Peninsular War battle of Roliça.
In addition, there are contributions from well-known wargamers who have adapted and re-fought some of the Teasers themselves, delivering entertaining and informative accounts accompanied by a host of colour photographs. Battlegames Sci-fi & Fantasy Editor Roger Smith, Society of Twentieth Century Wargamers Journal Editor Richard Baber, Beneath the Lily Banners author and well-known League of Augsburg exhibition gamer Barry Hilton, Edinburgh wargamer and fêted author Angus Konstam, Canadian wargamers and regular Battlegames contributors Bob Barnetson and Ross Macfarlane, and US gamers Jim Purky and Bill Protz, celebrated for their contributions to the Seven Years War Association, have all pitted their wits against the puzzles posed by our favourite Brigadier.
With several brand new maps, extra photos and additional material, there’s something here for every wargamer serious about having fun. And at only a tenner plus postage, this gorgeous, full-colour, A4, 72pp + 4pp laminated card cover publication represents some of the best value in wargaming!
NB I regret that, as a result of my illness (see the blog), the Teasers Special is being printed somewhat later than I had hoped, and therefore will be delivered to Battlegames HQ in the week commencing 5th January 2009. My thanks to you for your patience, and all pre-orders will be given priority for delivery as soon as we have the finished product.
A number of our regular distributors have expressed an interest, so you can also expect to see the book in shops and at shows both in the UK and overseas in due course, but with the Pound at a record low against the Dollar and the Euro, ordering direct may be the best value!
