Simulations Design Corporation of Box 19096, San Diego, California 92119, U.S.A. have put out a new magazine, CONFLICT ($2 per copy or (bi-monthly) at $7,98, overseas $8.98). Beautifully produced and illustrated, it contains well researched articles that could be invaluable to the wargamer and each issue contains a free boardgame! Volume I researches the 1940 campaign in France; the Japanese Navy at Guadalcanal 1942 and discusses various boardgames. Its free game is "Guerra a Outrance" concerning France 1940. Volume II deals with The Fall of New France in Canada 1759; The American Navy in 1941; Bonaparte in Egypt; an interesting and amusing short story on "War Games" plus discussion on the free game "Minuteman" dealing with the American Revolution in the North. Volume III deals with the German Invasion of Norway 1940; Airborne History and development; a bibliography of military research periodicals; the Russian Invasion of East Prussia 1914; "Simulation" - Modern Wargames Design plus a free game "Assassin" a game of time travel. Naturally rather American in concept, these magazines present a highly advanced contribution to what Volume I says the development from 'wargames' to 'conflict simulations' to 'integrated-simulations"', the information they contain being of the greatest value and seemingly accurate. If you are looking for the "intense" and highly advanced fields of wargaming (or integrated-simuations) then this and STRATEGY AND TACTICS are what you want -- both being at one end of the scale while the "play-for-fun" WARGAMER'S NEWSLETTER is at the other!
