From Kevin Hendryx

"Glad to see that SAGA is apparently off and running. Also glad to read (in # 2) that others share my low opinion of WRG rules. Let's see more reviews of current products (figures and games), historical articles, and uniform/equipment info., and less battle reports (he demanded churlishly). Also humor! I enclose my contribution. Hope you can use it ... might even submit a proper article sometime."

(Ed. Kevin is obviously not a fan of Phil Barker's...joined by 70% of you! Just having gotten a hold of 7th edition WRG it looks radically different. More on this next issue.)

From Terry Andrews

On the demo games at Simcon VIII (U.of R.) "I really liked how fast Shock of Impact went, but not having watched the Newbury demo, I don't know how that stacked up. Right now, theres seems to be a debate and that's good. It brings out into the open a lot that was underground for a long time...comlaining about Phil Barker but not doing anythingabout it. I feel this is a positive step. The more the debate, the better."

(Ed. Oh, no!)

From W. C.

..."Huh?"

From Mark Kordan

"Having played in one of the Newbury demos, I feel that cavalry are very brittle under these rules (Ed.. compare with Mr. Keyser's view!). Pikes, though, are very, very strong with support ranks up to six deep. I also lost nine cavalry figures charging Roman foot and hit none in return on a frontal assault. Bows are also very strong. The rules, on the positive side, do differentiate very well between order, armor and classes ... much more detailed than the others I've played."
