May is almost upon us, and that means it’s time for Warlord Games’ new Soldier of Fortune.

Revealed today on the Warlord Games website, May’s Soldier of Fortune is Lieutenant-General Sir Adrian Carton de Wiart VC. For those who don’t know who that is (as I didn’t), de Wiart was a Belgium soldier who fought for the British army. By the end of his career he’d fought in the Boer War, First World War, and Second World War and been shot in the face, head, stomach, ankle, leg, hip, and ear. There were also more letters after his name than there are on a plate of alphabetti spaghetti.

See the Warlord Games website for more details.
