Ed.Thanks very much for your email to Armchair General and for your kind comments on our magazine. We always appreciate hearing from our readers and thank you for taking the time to let us know your thoughts on the magazine.

World War II’s Eastern Front remains a popular subject amongst those interested in articles on the Second World War — by far the most popular era of military history for our readers, as indicated in reader polls we’ve conducted on our website. In this regard, we have often featured articles on the Eastern Front. For example, our Battlefield Leader article in the September 2005 issue was on Marshal Zhukov and the What Next General article in that issue placed readers in Zhukov’s boots as he fought the Japanese at the battle of Khalkin Gol in the Soviet Far East. Other examples include our What Next General article on Vatutin at Kursk, Commander Dossier article on Marshal Rokossovsky (along with a companion Weapon Files article on Russia’s T-34 tank), a You Command on the Battle of Mtsensk in 1941 and numerous others.

ACG does not publish "theme" issues, as most of our readers prefer a mix of eras in each issue — however, as a reader of ACG you’ll note that World War II continues to be the most popular era and, therefore, makes up a large proportion of our articles.

You will certainly appreciate our March 2007 issue as it contains Eastern Front articles: Witness to War is on a female Soviet sniper at Stalingrad in 1942 (with our photographer, Seimon Pugh-Jones’ wonderful combat recreation photographs!) and the issue’s Combat! article is about a German infantry unit fighting Soviet partisans. The May 2007 contains a special History in Depth article titled "Shattering the Wehrmacht Myth: How the Red Army Really Beat Hitler" by historian Jon Jordan.

We’ll continue to feature Eastern Front articles in ACG and hope you enjoy them.

Dear Armchair General,

My name is Nick. I’m 15 years old and I live in Canada. I love your magazine, the articles, the games, everything, really. I haven’t subscribed yet but I get Armchair General from the shelves.

I love Science Fiction too, especially Star Trek and the newer Battlestar Galactica.

I wrote to ask to do a review on the new Star Trek game Star Trek: Legacy. It is a strategy-combat game spanning the whole of the Star Trek universe. I just want to see what you think of it.

I hope to subscribe before the holiday offer is over.

Sincerely,
Nick McGuire

Ed. Thanks very much for your email and thanks for your kind remarks about Armchair General magazine. We are very happy to receive comments from readers like you. Hope you took advantage of the Holiday special subscription rate.

Our video and wargame reviews are done by well-known game designer, Mark Walker (Game Buzz and Video Game Review) and Jeffrey Paulding (War Game Review). We let them select the games they will review in each issue, as it lets them try to get the latest, best games to review in the magazine. I do not know if there are plans to review the Star Trek game or not. If you would like to try your hand at reviewing the game yourself, our Webmaster, Brian King, may be interested in running it on our website.

Dear Armchair General,

In your Nov ‘06 issue, your article concerning the attack by Commander Nishino Kozo on the Elwood Oil Fields (History’s Mysteries “Japan Attacks California!”) has some additional interesting twists.

Check out "And Now You Know the Rest of the Story" by Paul Harvey. I’ve sent an e:mail requesting a copy of the program – of particular interest is that the Commander had visited the same location some years earlier and was avenging a lost of face that he suffered at the earlier visit. www.paulharvey.com
