My all- round favorite has been “Miniature Wargames” (though hard to find out here in the boonies). “Wargames Illustrated” always felt a little too cerebral with the “serious” history articles that were hard to relate to actual tabletop gaming, while MW always had articles that would appeal to the beginner.
So true! That is why I preferred “Wargames Illustrated” - It had a good mix of historical background with game play write ups. For me, it is hard to find decent English language magazines in the shops worth the money. I need to find something I will read cover-to-cover. (PC magazines with a DVD, cost around EUR14 to 18, about three times the cover price.) I like “Miniature Wargames” too, but when it came to the toss up for a subscription, “Wargames Illustrated” won. Though, they have recently had a revamp, and seem to be more about the games, with more pages on shows. The last few issues seem to have more pages of the just photos of wargame tables at shows, which is less interesting to me. When the sub comes round for renewal, I might switch.
