I felt that the content was either being too repetitive, uninspiring, or too product dependent.<br /><br />I started buying MINIATURE WARGAMES WITH BATTLEGAMES when Henry Hyde took over as editior ... and in my opinion he has managed to avoid producing a duff issue so far. All right, not every article covers something that interests me, but there are always some articles that do.<br /><br />I don't do an in-depth review of the magazine because that is done elsewhere. What I try to do is to make regular blog readers aware of what each issue contains so that they can choose whether or not to buy it. I hope that one day you will read one of my blog entries and think to yourself '<i>I will take a look at that issue the next time I see it on sale somewhere</i>.'<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-78769749451127851382014-05-25T02:42:01.683+01:002014-05-25T02:42:01.683+01:00I read this with some interest as I have not bough...I read this with some interest as I have not bought any magazines this year, a new years thing, no unpainted models either. Although you don't really review the magazine as such the contents don't exactly inspire me. I have a very certain feeling that I'm really not missing out on anything - which is a shame.

I usually find the rest of the magazine enjoyable, even if the articles don't always cover areas that interest me. I hope that it will not become formulaic ... as it tended to under its previous editor. In the meantime I shall be sticking with it.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-27667742409284192022014-05-24T22:14:22.859+01:002014-05-24T22:14:22.859+01:00Personally, I'm becoming concerned that there ...Personally, I'm becoming concerned that there are rather a lot of regular columns by the same authors each month. <br /><br />I was particularly disappointed that 'Fantasy Facts' has reappeared: but that's because I have no interest in futuristic grunts armed with lasers and AFVs mounted on hovercraft skirts! Surely such a concept would be completely impractical in terms of fuel consumption - unless one had some anti-gravity material like Wells' Cavorite - and ludicrously expensive? Recent events in Afghanistan, Nigeria, Ukraine et al. suggest that much future warfare is more likely to involve relatively low-tech, partisan/terrorist/militia forces than high-tech, professional ones... <br /><br />Command Challenge, OTOH, I like because there is a variety of authors, periods, rules systems &c.<br /><br />WSS is beginning to look more attractive.<br /><br />Regards,<br />Arthur<br /><br />arthur1815https://www.blogger.com/profile/12333670394529977263noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-26973054142682398932014-05-24T20:09:16.705+01:002014-05-24T20:09:16.705+01:00Nobby,
