Hello, my name is Kurt Coyle and I am the new editor for Battle-Wire. I've been playing Battleground WWII for about three years and seen the game evolve into what it is today. I hope this qualifies me to be the editor of Battle-Wire!

We write Battle-Wire for your enjoyment and to keep you up to date on the latest news from Easy Eight Enterprises. You can expect to continue to see Jim Bland's "ALL OUT, cartoon strip and more articles about tactics from Harold Coyle. But, we want to encourage you, the gamer, to contribute to BattleWire. If your article is selected to be used in a future Battle-Wire, we will send you a complimentary Easy Eight product! Of course, we would also appreciate any suggestions or ideas you would like to pass on to us about Battle-Wire as well. If you would like to contribute to Battle-Wire, contact me at 1-800-335-2977 or drop me an E-mail me at our web page (www.battlegroundwwii.com)

I hope you like this edition of Battle-Wire and I hope to hear from many Battleground WWII gamers soon!
