Tom Stockton's fantastic site, shows how to create many hex-based scenic elements, describing the various techniques and, down to the tiniest detail, the succession of stages. I hope it will be a source of immense inspiration for you, as it was for me. 10 out of 10 plus honours to Tom!

On Troy Ritter's site, you can find plenty of images on hex-based scenic elements and some highly attractive settings and scenarios on IIWW (Second World War).

Dan Becker, in addition to having created a splendid field of play with polystyrene hexagons, uses it with a written rule book for an area-based approach, i.e. Command & Colors Ancient by Richard Borg. Zama's And Lilipa's fields are just great!!

On the website of the Czech Wargaming Club of Prague, you will be able to see images of an excellent hex-based field for battles of the Napoleonic period, with 15mm miniatures, made with polystyrene hexagons. So they like hexagons in the Czech Republic too!

Below you can find a list of magazines and articles on the wargame with area-based approach. If anyone knows of other magazines or articles about the subject, please contact us so that we can expand this list for the benefit of all those interested.

Dadi & Piombo is an Italian magazine specialising in wargames. This publication is an excellent mirror of the Italian wargame.

In this issue (27), there is an article illustrating the "Hexagon Philosophy". The article, written by Fabio G. Farneti, describes the advantages of the wargame with area-based approach compared to the metric approach.

In this issue (28) there is an article which shows and compares the various suppliers now on the market, producing 3-D hex-based fields. The article, written by Fabio G. Farneti, also provides a simple way of self-producing polystyrene hexagons to then compose a hex-based field.

This issue (29) contains an article which shows you how to create a battlefield with hexagonal elements. The article, written by Fabio G. Farneti, describes how to create some hexagonal scenic elements, starting with the polystyrene hexagons obtained by following the instructions given in issue 28.

The Battlegame magazine is an English journal specialising in wargames. The magazine especially addresses the "old school" aspect.

In this issue (6), an article written by Adrian Hussey appears. It provides an excellent overview of the regulations one can now use, and on the possibility of converting regulations with a metric based approach into an area-based approach, as well as the possible limits. The main features of an area approach wargame are also shown.

This issue (7) includes regulations on the “Risorgimento” period for the three dimensional wargame with area-based approach, entitled “Sans Peur et Sans Repoche”. The regulations written by Adrian Hussey, and associated with a Battle Report, are immediate, and, in our opinion, very nice, and excellent as a starting point for this special type of approach.

The Tuttosoldatini magazine is an Italian publication specialising in the world of toy soldiers as a whole, collecting, games, painting and history.

In this issue (14) there is an article written by Alex Storti, who provides an unusual point of view on this phenomenon, on its birth, and its current development, in particular underscoring the work done by Richard Borg and by the Command & Colors system which he devised.
