This is the lull between conventions. Historicon is not for a few weeks yet (for me, anyway), so I don't have a lot of news to pass on. Hopefully, we'll have lots of news to report in CPQ #4! Magaine Review The Journal of the Society of 20th Century Wargam: This is a 60-page newsletter from England which covers air, land, and naval wargaming from 1900 on. I have copies of issues 9, 10, and 11 on hand, and am impressed by their work. The Journal covers scenarios, rules, figure reviews, and has ads for many British companies which are not well known here in the States. If ou oin the Society, there are a number of British companies that will even give you a discount on your order! The format is similar to the old Command Post, and it comes out quarterly for $20.00 US a year. To send a for a subscription, contact: The Journal of the Society of 20th Century Wargames
