If you are reading this in America, having bought it from a news-stand, then this is the fourth issue of the magazine that has had national US distribution. I hope you like it.

In the UK, by way of contrast, it seems that there is no way that any of the major High Street stockist will increase their stock of magazines. The exceptions seem to be that it either has a picture of Denise Van Outen on the front cover, or the subject matter covers tattooing. So, well come to the first UK issue of Denise Van Outen's Guide to Napoleonic Tattooing!

The winner of the Napoleon Series / Partizan Press prize draw for Elting's 'Napoleonic Uniforms' is A. Lath of Canada.

The production team would like to apologise for a couple of errors in the Eylau article last issue. The credit for the work which was unfortunately overlooked was Matt Love. The second error concerns the key for the 8am map of Eylau which should have been solid blue for infantry and blue/white for the cavalry. We apologise for any confusion caused and promise we will pay more attention next time.

Keep on rocking!
