For 10GBP the pdf version, I think it's really value for money. And best of all, you don't need to change your FOW-based miniaturesAnibal Invictushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00574972963418062956noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-76128610525391179122012-01-15T10:53:07.257+00:002012-01-15T10:53:07.257+00:00Just get a subscription Ray, she'll find out a...Just get a subscription Ray, she'll find out anyway! They always do ;-)<br /><br />I dont have the issue yet but perhaps I could briefly comment on Rick Priestly's article by drawing your attention to an article in WI 255 Philosophy & the art of Wargaming (shortened) in which Kevin Clark makes some comments on the IGOUGO system and whether it is the way forwards in rules systems and many more interesting points (the type of article that WI sorely lack nowadays). Thanks for the summary Lee sounds like a great read.PaintPighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09047331820540221681noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-41323161231781817212012-01-15T10:13:18.747+00:002012-01-15T10:13:18.747+00:00'Tis a great mag, I used to subscribe to it, b...'Tis a great mag, I used to subscribe to it, but haven't since it relaunch, I know I'll end up, just don't want it popping through the letter box, I can hear the Mrs already " Not another silly soldier magazine, how come you can afford them when we nee............" it goes on far too long!Ray Rousellhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07352596392520905197noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1298399641711237003.post-5189980102710140682012-01-15T10:09:56.199+00:002012-01-15T10:09:56.199+00:00Finished it last night, it was a very good issue.Finished it last night, it was a very good issue.Fire at Willhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08816572506887450180noreply@blogger.com
