Miniature Wargames with Battlegames Issue 398

The June issue of MINIATURE WARGAMES WITH BATTLEGAMES magazine was delivered yesterday, just before I had to leave for my second Masonic meeting of the week, and I have only just managed to have a quick flick though it it.

As I wrote earlier in the blog entry, I have only just managed to skim through this issue, but I have already noted several articles that I want to spend some time reading. They are Andrew Rolph's The Stalin Line (I'm a sucker for anything to do with the war on the Eastern Front/the Great Patriotic War), Tony Harwood's Eindecker Part 3 (I might need some model aircraft in the near future, and his modelling technique appears to be very simple and effective), Arthur Harman's The look of the thing (anything that Arthur writes is always worth reading!), and finally the article by David R Clemmet and Thomas Davidson about attracting new blood into the hobby. I've always tried to 'do my bit' in this regard, and wondered if they had any new ideas about how to do this.
