sauromatian wrote in Little Wars magazine:TheDozingDragon wrote in Little Wars magazine:Anyone any idea if there really were 13 copies of the magazine or just 12?Issue 13 appears as a portion of The Dragon issue 22:Dragon Magazine, Issue 22 (Featuring: Little Wars, Issue 13): TSR 2/1979 - Wayne's BooksSimilarly, Ares Magazine continued on as part of Dragon Magazine after TSR bought SPI. It's a pretty common practice in magazine publishing.

sauromatian wrote in Little Wars magazine:TheDozingDragon wrote in Little Wars magazine:now to start searching for the Strategic ReviewNot that hard either. Maybe the first couple of issues will take effort (plus the super-rare Strategic Preview, with numbering oddities of its own), while the rest are easy to find at $10-$20 each.
sauromatian wrote in Little Wars magazine:There are few illustrations or ads in Strategic Review - you'll have better luck with magazines like The Courier, Fantasy Modeling, The Squadron, or Wargamers Digest. My copies of The Squadron from the early '70s have some interesting ads from Guidon Games (not minis, but relevant to the early development of D&D, so they're interesting to me at least).

Zenopus wrote in Little Wars magazine:For those who have a Little Wars collection, are there any ads for D&D in the issues? Was TSR still trying to advertise D&D to the wargamers at that time?More specifically, I'm interested if there were any ads for the Basic Set in the 1977-78 issues. The Basic Set came out in July '77 and the first ad in Dragon was in the Sept '77 issue, so the most likely issues of Little Wars would be from #7 (Fall 1977) to #12 (Oct '78). There might also be ads for the first two AD&D hardcovers from '78, or TSR boardgames.

I posted a few ads on my blog - here is a link to the relevant posts;deartonyblair.blogspot.co.uk/search/lab ... 20Magazine
Scalydemon wrote in Little Wars magazine:Perhaps a bit of a curveball on the topic, but I just looked at your blog, and I can relate to the Dupuytren's contracture surgerys. Just had my 3rd surgery on left hand and they removed the knuckle on my left ring finger. I am from the states but my family is originally from England and the Netherlands - so I have the genes for this. I am only 39 yes old and my 1st surgery was when I was in my late 20's.
