First Look at the May 2007 Issue
This issue looks back at the Civil War and studies what made General Robert E. Lee such a great leader, on and off the battlefield. We also take you to Stalingrad for a "Walk Where They Fought" tour, as well as dispel many of the Red Army myths which have persisted all these years in our exclusive article "How the Red Army Really Won." Other features include a piece on Gen. Westmoreland, "Tommies" in North Africa, Okinawa 1945, and a special list of books read by members of the US military.

Armchair General War College Series
Ever wonder if there is a place you can go where military history and wargaming come together in one weekend-long non-stop barrage of intense adventure? Look no further than the Origins and Historicon game conventions for starters. Not only will there be more war and strategy tabletop gaming than you can stand, Armchair General will be sponsoring War Colleges at both events with notables such as Carlo D'Este (an Armchair General regular), David Glantz (noted Eastern Front specialist) and dozens of others. When you need a break from the game table, come check out these interesting seminars.
