History Magazines?

[Steel God]

Tony;

You covered most of the magazines I have subscribed to over the years, all are good. MHQ was always top shelf in my opinion, but the price went along with that. Military History, Civil War Times, World War II, and everything in that format were always rock solid and good value for me. Armchair General was always very slick, and is perhaps geared more towards war gaming than history, but does a fine job of mixing both.

For me, Military History was always my favorite because it covered a broad spectrum, and frankly I get tired of reading about WWII all the time. It was also not as expensive as MHQ, but did good coverage. If I had to go with one, that would be it.

PS: Oh yeah, about S&T, the short answer is, do you have anyone you can play the board games against? If yes, then I find S&T to be worth the high price. If the games in the mags are just going to stack up in your closet like a 100 other games you own and can't play for lack of FTF opponents, I'd pass on it.
