ADD TO WISHLIST >

The PDF version is identical to the original printed version other than minor alterations to update subscription information and indicate the new format. The file is 144dpi, sufficient to enable you to 'zoom in' on pictures and achieve a pleasing print-out at home.

"Have you seen my Neil Diamond CD?" is another witty offering from Diane Sutherland, this time with a recycling bent to create jungle scenery on old CDs.

Siggo, in a short Forward Observer piece this month, 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!)

Wargamer and historian Chris Scott opens his account with a new series, "Talking wargaming", and his first topic is "Artillery and the tabletop". thought-provoking stuff.

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, you can find more FREE material for "Waterloo en masse" on the Battlegames website.

"A dashing rescue, or General Blunt's woman" is Charles S Grant's Table Top Teaser this month. Can you save the lovely lady from the dastardly French?

In his "To boldly go" column, Roger Smith considers the appeal of "Urban War" and "War Machine", comparing and contrasting their mechanisms and all-round hobby appeal. Pics of some stunning minis accompany this.

Arsuf 1191 is the scenario offered by our second new contributor this issue. Daniel Johnson and his chums in Lancaster came up with their own Warmaster Medieval lists before the 'official' version was published recently, in order to stage this Warmaster megagame, pitting Richard the Lion Heart against his nemesis, Saladin.

Recce is, as ever, packed with reviews of the newest books, toys and stuff, including plastic 28mm British Napoleonics from both Victrix and the Perrys, the immense "Frontline General" WWII game, "Through the Mud & Blood" from TooFatLardies, Offensive Miniatures US Paratroops, Alessio Cavatore's chess derivative "Shuuro" and much more besides...

A new regular feature, we have an up-to-date worldwide calendar of events for May and June supplied by Tricks of the Newark Irregulars.

An update for our Battlegames Combat Stress Appeal, with details of the special figures being sculpted and auctioned for Julian Evans' own appeal efforts.

Thanks to more advertising support again, we're back up to 56 pages, so keep kicking those advertisers' shins!

This PDF version is priced at 50% of the original printed version, making it affordable for gamers everywhere.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
