Having already previewed the tactical units from epic miniatures game Konflikt ’47, issue 107 looks at the war-warping, time-altering effects of this alternative history. As Japan exits the Axis, who will be victorious in the race to control unnatural forces in pursuit of military victory? Not to be outdone in the brutality stakes, a new version of Blood Bowl is coming our way! Legendary creator Jervis Johnson – who went from salesman to games designer – tells us how a violent, fantasy pastiche of American football became an iconic hit. Other highlights include… TABLETOP SCOTLAND 2025: Tabletop Gaming was at Scotland’s premier board gaming event – and we have the photos to prove it!
