This is John Norris's Introduction to the Seven Years War article (Part 1) from Wargamer's Monthly magazine. So far it is uncertain that there ever was a part two, which is a shame as it would have covered the figures, rules and books available in 1977 for this conflict.
No, there definitely were no further editions.
ReplyDeleteI don't want to rake ancient grievances but I can distinctly remember there was a good deal of comment over unfilled orders for books and Mr Hogan's business venture was not a success. He may have overextended himself financially. Or not, my memory is increasingly fallible.
Shame really, I bought the magazine in Smiths liked it and waited hopefully for the second issue.
John Norris was editor of Slingshot for a while. (your bonus Christmas fact.)

Excellent! Thank you. What a shame there was neither a second, nor subsequent issues.

I actually remember this magazine really well for some obscure reason! There was only ever the one issue which is a shame.
ReplyDeleteNot sure if its relevant but the colour pics are from - or were published in the Blandford on the 7YW.
ReplyDeleteAs for magazines- anyone remeber Soldier On! - it didn't lasted 4 issues or Model soldier- which lasted a couple of years or more- Both had wargame content
think i have a copy somewhere of Soldier On, and didn't editor of Model Soldier moved on/started up Miniature Wargames ?
