Editor's Tour of Wi439, July 2024

[@vonklinkerhoffen4343]

Ordered two copies of Wargames Illustrated, ended up being sent two of the same sprue for ‘Hail Caesar Epic Battles’. Disappointing and unimaginative of them, you would have thought whoever packed my order would have thought to send two different sprues?

[@norm977]

Thanks Dan, enjoyed my copy. It had the Roman sprue, which I thought was very good.

I don't intend to use the sprue but I'll buy the magazine. A lot of interesting ancient orientated articles to view.

Five for Victory? I think not.

Plane flies over flashing light. What's that? That's the V for victory sign, three dots and a dash. Dot, Dot, Dot, Daaa! Hey ain't you ever heard Beethovens fifth symphony? So, at about 1:30 minutes in we see the new V for Victory game by Studio Tomahawk, and he calls it 5 for Victory. Should it not be V (Vee) for Victory. I have heard this somewhere before, so am I missing something, or is there a significants of the 5?

You're missing something!

Its "V" for Victory. Not 5 for Victory. It is not a Roman numeral in this case.

[@jambot4621]

It isn't, read the article!

[@adiosgringo8200]

@@jambot4621 at 1:36, the host of the video states "5 for Victory". I am not talking about what the article states, but what the commentator says.

[@jambot4621]

@@adiosgringo8200 It is pronounced Five for Victory. The article explains why.

Could someone please explain to me why in 2024 with most everything produced digitally, we still get a sprue with repeated sculpts? Why can’t they all be different- I mean, its one sprue per faction, an issue with irregular armies like Gauls. We got more variants on epic 40k sprues from the early 90’s. Just seems needlessly lazy to me.
