- Have you seen my Neil Diamond CD? Diane Sutherland gives us another witty offering, this time with a recycling bent to create jungle scenery on old CDs.
- Forward Observer. Siggo lauds the work of Peter Gilder, chats about the latest offerings at shows, and prompts me to make a promise about a plastics tutorial next issue (see me, Siggins!)
- Artillery and the tabletop. Wargamer and historian Chris Scott opens his account for a new short series, "Talking wargaming". Thought-provoking stuff.
- Waterloo en masse. DCR Brown, author of the popular General de Brigade rules and all-round nice bloke, delivers the scenario and account of the huge Waterloo game played at South Mimms last November, accompanied by a clutch of pretty pics and full Orders of Battle for the game.
- Table Top Teaser. "A dashing rescue, or 'General Blunt's woman'" is Charles S Grant's offering this month. Can you save the lovely lady from the dastardly French?
