Dear Sir,
I noticed in your editorial notes of the June issue that La Legion flags are once again available. Would you be so kind to confirm that and advise me on their address?
(Editor's Reply): I don't know La Legion's address and am informed that they are strictly wholesale oriented. However, you can get them from Stone Mountain Miniatures here in the U.S.
Dear Brian,
I have wanted to write you for some time to tell you how much I enjoy your magazine... I have continued to be pleased with each issue I receive. One point that has bothered me was a lack of articles concerning Stars N Bars III by Scotty Bowden. Because I play with these rules frequently now, it has been discouraging to find that, apparently, they would not have much mention in your fine magazine. I was most pleasantly surprised to find the articles by Rob Smith in the last issue and I hope to see more in the future....
(Editor's Reply): You will find some more SNB3 material in this issue. I wish to point out that JR2 scenarios can be easily converted to SNB3. Our goal is to have a scenario for each of the major rules sets in every issue!
Dear Brian,
It was kind of you to accept my check as payment in full, but I'd like to be a "regular" subscriber rather than a "raw recruit". What is the availability and price of back issues of Volume I? By the way, I'm a fan of the ON TO RICHMOND rules, regardless of Chris Coniglio's criticisms. I do appreciate the comments though. I do not have JOHNNY REB... they must be awfully good rules. Keep those issues coming!
Dear Brian,
Thanks for the latest issue of THE ZOUAVE. You and Clay have put out another great issue. Enclosed is a check for 1989 dues and a copy of SHENANDOAH. Looking forward to both!
Dear Editor,
Having read about THE ZOUAVE in a British magazine, and having received the first 3 issues for this year, I am highly impressed. The American Civil War has quite a number of enthusiasts in Europe who need a magazine such as yours. Have you considered putting it out in different languages? I have enclosed an international money order for your campaign rules, SHENANDOAH. How does the campaign work?
(Editor's Reply): Thanks for the kind words. We have enough trouble getting THE ZOUAVE out in English, much less trying other languages! As regards SHENANDOAH, it has sold much better than expected. It works on the premise of an imaginary campaign in the Shenandoah Valley during 1863. Neither side knows the exact composition of the enemy army other than that it will be within 25% strength of your own. Using something called the "double blind" system, commanders on both sides must feel out the opponent, guard the roads leading to their own key towns, take chances, and hope to overwhelm a smaller force somewhere on the map without having the same done to them. A lot of emphasis is placed on scouting patrols. The side that uses its patrols the wisest will likely win. It's a lot of fun feeling like a real general!
