Mike Siggins is a popular voice in the wargaming community and many gamers
like to see what he has to say on a range of topics, whether he's been
incognito and eyeing up the merchandise at hobby shows, or testing the
latest make of acrylic paints or playing new boardgames on the market.
By turns controversial or curmudgeonly, creative or compassionate, Mike
is a man with opinions that provoke a response and, most importantly, make
us think about our hobby and its future. Precisely, in fact, why I hired
him.
Now, by agreement with Mike, we have decided to
make his famous Forward Observer columns in Battlegames available
to the world at large. There will be a delay before they appear
here (hey, if you want to read them bang up-to-date, buy the magazine!)
but they appear here just as they did in the pages of Battlegames.
