I was lucky enough recently to purchase some more Wargamer's Newsletters. This time from Italy! These covered the years 1968 through to 1971.
Issue 111 was of particular interest as Donald Featherstone documented that he had suffered what all wargamers suffer from that is waning enthusiasm.
Luckily for us,he naturally recovered and then listed what had occurred to lift his waning enthusiasm. What I found of particular interest was the amount of television interest wargaming had generated.Sadly I never saw the programs,as I was in the throes of discovering girls,and rock music, with my wargaming filling only the odd hour of the day. Anyway I hope these scans are readable,as I thought they were of great interest to all nostalgic loving wargamers,ie me.
The Independent Wargames Group. Being a Journal of views, prejudices, ideas and photographs of wargaming not just nationwide, but hopefully world wide. The name IWG was adopted in the early 1980's in response to the then dominant Wargames Research Group, but things have moved on, and wargaming appears to be in somewhat of a Golden Age, so sit back and hopefully enjoy my rantings.
