Honours of War - A New Scenario Book

Anyone who has been part of Honours of War's online presence these last 10 years will be familiar with Dinos Antoniadis. He has been a prolific presence both on the original website and now on Facebook, particularly with battle reports and scenarios. He also provides maps for the prestigious Kronoskaf SYW website. Now, those maps and scenarios have come together in this co-operation with Partizan Press.


Above is the edition currently on sale from Caliver Books for £24.95. Below you can see the version sent to me just before the book went on sale. The cover colour was changed at the request of Osprey to avoid any confusion with the original Osprey 'Blue Book', although this new book is a larger, A4 size production. Naturally, the small number of blue coloured books produced have become instant collector's items and are changing hands at over £100. Or maybe not.


Anyway, regardless of the cover colour, you get a softback of 103 pages in full colour, with 9 historical scenarios and 6 fictional ones. I've written a preface, and none other than Charles Grant has written the foreword. Some sample pages can be seen below.



To introduce the book more fully, I include my preface here. As you will read, I am extremely pleased to see this book in print. Dinos deserves to be congratulated on a good product, and with luck more people will end up playing HoW. However, whatever rules you use for this period, I feel the book will be equally valuable.


If you're buying the book, I recommend you go straight to Caliver at the address below. Happy reading!


'Til next time!

What a lovely addition to the HoW line.

Looks good! Dinos has created a number of interesting scenarios over the years on the old HoW Forum. It will be good to have this collection all in one volume for reference. Sadly, I cannot follow Dinos or HoW on Facebook but Dinos and I are in regular correspondence.

That is exciting news Keith. News to me anyway as I don't do Facebook.
