Despite having no intentions of producing an issue with a specific theme, I seem to have done so. The majority of the contents cover the Franco-Prussian War. This is not surprising in retrospect as Terry, Bruce and I have begun wargaming this conflict in the last few months.

There is plenty more to follow, although submissions from the readership are always welcome. I have no problems with creating the content, unfortunately that tends to reflect all of my interests and those of the other Saga Publishing staff. It would be better if we had independent sources providing us with information. We hope to hear from you soon as in before the next issue, which is due out in late March 2003.
