The new edition of WS&S is currently at the printer and will be ready soon. Issue 97 has a theme that focuses on Weird War II - a mix of actual history, mad-science, and a dash of magic. If that's not your thing, there are plenty of solidly historical articles as well, including complete rules for Hellenistic elephant combat and a matchup between the Dutch and Swedish set in 17th century Delaware, just to name a few.
