When we took over WSS, several free online PDF rulesets which were available from the original publisher became unavailable. We have now acquired these missing files and are offering them for download on our site. You can find the free rules for Quatre-bras and Operation Sea Lion, from issues 47 and 49 respectively, in our online extras section.
We are now offering the article by Jon and Diane Sutherland about the Indian Mutiny from WSS 57 as a free PDF. Due to a problem in our layout, a small portion of the text was hidden by an image, making it unreadable.

For digital subscribers, you can redownload a corrected version of the entire WSS 57 PDF from our webshop.
