Now appealing to a world-wide audience with an avid interest in history and archaeology as well as their more well-known historical re-enactment and living history articles and photography.

Issues Reviewed

Skirmish 58, 59, and 60.

The Good

This is an excellent publication that is not only of extreme interest to history buffs and to reenactors and , the awesome color photography is an excellent resource to those who wargame.

It is absolutely worth every cent of the cover price. In all honesty, I’d be willing to pay £10 each issue for everything that I got out of this magazine.

The Bad

I thought it was slightly ad-heavy, but seeing as though this does keep the cover price down, it is an acceptable issue.

The Ugly

None.
