Best headline in this morning’s Metro was “Man Killed by Gimp Suit”. I suspect Auton involvement but the newspaper gave some mundane explanation instead – UNIT misinformation in full swing.
According to the SFSFW Awards I’m in a minority these days for preferring Wargames Illustrated to Miniatures Wargames. I subscribe to the former but only pick up occasional issues of the latter. Yesterday, I bought the latest issue for the article on the conquest of the Canary Islands – Conquistadors versus Cavemen. I’m a bit miffed that the article (billed as part one) was just two pages long and did nothing more than give the geographical description of the islands. 
There’s a new wargames mag – Battlegames – but its not being distributed to newsagents and whilst I can subscribe or order a sample issue online, there’s nothing like being able to flick through a copy to help decide whether it’s a worthwhile read (which clearly I should have done in WHSmiths yesterday prior to buying Miniatures Wargames). With luck, someone will be selling copies at Salute.
Apart from WI, and with Harbinger having folded, the magazines I either subscribe to or buy every issue of are:
- Prehistoric Times
- Warpstone
- Ragnarok
- SFX
- Doctor Who magazine
- TV Zone
That doesn’t seem like too many (especially as some of them are published rather infrequently), so why do I never seem to have time to read them properly?
