THE AVALON HILL GENERAL begins its new look with the 10th anniversary issue (May-June 1973). Under the able hand of editor Don Greenwood, the GENERAL has improved considerably. The old scroll cover is gone, replaced by one which reflects the feature article -- in this case some fine drawings of Napoleonic troops in action at Waterloo. Expansion to 26pp plus the liberal use of color in diagrams and charts is also a great plus.

The articles naturally still deal with the play of Avalon Hill games, but the quality is improved. Don Greenwood has been successful in getting many noted gamers and writers to contribute. Two new features are a "Design Analysis" column and the "Series Replay". The latter will be a move by move account of a PBM game between two experts along with the comments of the players and an analysis by a third party. The first game wasn't ready for this issue but there is a replay of a PANZERBLITZ game which took place in the AH design offices to whet our appetites. "Series Replay" should prove to be a most interesting and worthwhile feature.

Also there is a new reader response page which contains the discount coupon, reader buyer's guide, contest, opponents wanted ad form and a questionaire. Still only $5.00 for six issues, the GENERAL is a must if you're interested in Avalon Hill games.
