I'll be looking for it in WHS over the weekend.I can't think when I last enjoyed a wargames glossy so much or eagerly anticipated it coming out.Henry has done a splendid job and keeps coming up with a wide range of inspiring,interesting and enjoyable articles.
ReplyDeleteTradgardmastare,
ReplyDeleteI hope that you can find it in your local branch of WHSmith. In the area where I live the wargames magazines seem to migrate regularly around the magazine display, which means that they are never in the same place each time I pay WHSmith a visit.
I think that Henry has just about managed to get the right sort of balance between gloss and content, so he has ended up with an attractive looking magazine with articles that are worth reading. I only hope that he can keep that up!
All the best,
Bob
Got it this morning and what a lot to enjoy.A quick look with my Green Tea has me looking forward to a better read later.
ReplyDeleteReadily available in my local WHs and in Edinburgh too.
I too feel Henry is doing really well re balance and content, long may it continue...
Tradgardmastare,
ReplyDeleteWell done for managing to find it in WHSmith! Your local branches are obviously better managed than the ones near me.
Sit back and enjoy a long relaxing drink and read; you deserve it ... and you will find it very invigorating as well as thought-provoking.
Long may Henry manage to keep up the standard he has set since taking over.
All the best,
Bob
