Picked up my only 2 wargames magazines that I buy last night which are Wargames Illustrated and White Dwarf.Now I never look at the magazines before I buy them because I do not believe I would still buy them as lately I am growing tired of Wargames Illustrated as a lot of the time now it does not interest me as much with some of its articles especially all the FOW stuff,I still like it for eye candy and advertisements but now with all the forums and reviews and previews available on the web the magazine is already out of date when you purchase it I believe.
White Dwarf I purchase because I used to play WH40K and Lord of the Rings and still like the magazine for battle reports,Lord of the Rings(which I adapted for Samurai Warfare, War of the Spanish Succession and Pirates) and I still make the odd purchase of WH40K vehicles and use them with other figures and I know it is just one big colourful catalogue but I mainly read these magazines for the moments of peace when we are pondering in the toilet that there is actually peace and quiet and we may get half a magazine read or a couple of chapters in a book(apologies for too much information or if you do not do this).LOL
Other Magazines I used to buy and read regularly(well not Vae Victus because I am Irish and cannot read or for that fact speak French but great pictures and a game):
Miniatures Wargames.
Wargames Soldiers and Strategy
BattleGames
Dadi & Piombo
Vae Victus(translation please)
I have back issues of these magazines numbering into hundreds and think they were better in the past(without as much information on the internet) but maybe I am just old but I will still probably continue purchasing them if only out of habit and the toilet reading.
