MWAN (Midwest Wargamers' Association Newsletter). Hal Thinglum edits this amazing magazine and regularly includes details of the SWA in it, plus both Associations exchange magazines. You will note that copies of MWAN are available on loan from the Solo Wargamers Association Library. MWAN is an A5 magazine of 160 pages grammed full of articles, rules, advertisements, reviews and letters, published 6 times a year . For general wargaming fun and enjoyment it stands alone in its contents and value for money. Highly recommended and if you don't believe me, then try a copy from the SWA Library! Costs for UK is £ 19.50, Europe £ 22.50 and the Rest of the World £ 25 available from CALIVER BOOKS, 816-818 London RD, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, SS9 3NH. Tel: 01702-73986.

THE JOURNAL (The Society of Twentieth Century Wargamers). Edited by Solo Wargamers Association member Mark Bevis and is a must for anyone interested in this wide ranging period. The Journal is A4 in size, 74 pages (in #22) of articles, rules, reviews, scenarios, free adverts and is published quarterly. Subs £ 12 to Mark Wheeler, 25 Buttermere, White Court, Black Notley, Essex, CM7 8UY.

SLINGSHOT (The Official Journal of the Society of Ancients). Edited by Steven Neate. For those of you who are interested in the Ancient period and not have had a look at Slingshot you have been missing out on a regular source of well researched information. Plus there is regular correspondence on DBA and DBM for thos members that indulge, which I found extremely interesting. Membership Secretary is Peter Barham, c/o 47 Walker Drive, Leigh-on-Sea, Essex, SS9 3QT.
