Back at the Keyboard Again

Editorial

CPQ-13 kicks off with the long awaited 1973 Yom Kippur Supplement, which will end up filling most of the CPQ- 14 as well. The Israeli's and most of the Egyptians are covered in CPQ-13, and the Syrians, Jordanians and other Arab forces will be covered in CPQ-14. This issue will also contain the Romanian Army of WWII, for those of you looking for a different army to game with on the Eastern Front.

Future plans for the CPQ Supplements are as follows:

    CPQ-14 : Finish the 73 War.
    CPQ-15 : Tunis 1942-1943
    CPQ-16 : Balkan Armies
    CPQ-17 : Eastern Front
    CPQ-18 : Korean War, Part I
    CPQ-19 : Korean War, Part II
    CPQ-20 : What Even Happened to NATO and the Warsaw Pact?

We shall continue to run our usual mix of articles in S-1 to SA including a rather major work on the BEF in 1940. Stay with us for this and more.

Two notes of interest to our readership. Bill Owen is a CD player who has been working on a Hidden Movement system for CD and similar games. He has some very interesting ideas that work well with Micro Armor, and which could be used with 15mm or 20mm figures as well. If you are interested in playtesting such a system, please contact him at: (Bill also runs trips for gamers over to England and Europe - you may want to ask about those as well.)

The following note concerns the list of manufacturers published in CPQ-12:

    Dear Sir,

    Just a short note concerning your list of manufacturers. Things change very quickly and the multiplicity of names can confuse, so here's a clarification.

    Peter Pig is still very much alive and prospering. We have no connection with John Mitchell, it is PETER LAING that John took over. Not Peter PIG. The Peter Pig range of WWII, WWI, Vietnam, Modem, and Spanish Civil War now numbers 300 packs.

    Firebase Games is now owned by an American company instead of the previous Shewsbury one. SDD is now owned by Brian Gosling of 16 Denzil Avenue, Netley Abbey, Southampton, England.

    So all the best and can we have a "plug" for Peter Pig, as the reports of our death have been greatly exaggerated!!

    Yours
    Martin Goodard
    One of the People from Peter Pig

Please consider yourself plugged - and my apologies for the mistake!

Good Gaming!!
