Variety, we are constantly being told, is the spice of life and that
being so I feel sure that you will not be disappointed with the contents
of Phoenix 3 which range from Napoleon at Waterloo to Fantasy, Teutonic
Knights to Resistance fighters of WW II.

Variety is also the thought behind a number of the feedback questions in
this issue. In these early days we still feel the need to probe and
reconnoitre to establish exactly what you, the subscriber, want from The
Phoenix. If we can broaden it's appeal with a wider variety of subject
matter this could strengthen The Phoenix and might possibly entice more
and more people to contribute. Even though we can now offer you a flow
of articles from regular contributors it is still.vital that we receive
material from as many people as possible. Indeed, it is even more vital
if The Phoenix is to be the platform for many opinions, as is our hope,
and not just a few.

As things stand at present we are, in fact, managing to steadily build
up our 'article bank' for future issues but we do need to have a great
deal more material available to draw on before we can really plan issues
well in advance.

Just to wet your appetite a little, some of the articles in the pipeline
include: additional scenarios for 'Legion', 'Yeoman' and 'Third Reich';
modifications to 'Foxbat & Phantom', 'Borodino', 'Tank!', 'Sniper';
reviews and critiques on 'Westwall Quads', 'Jerusalem', 'Sorcerer';
Strategy and tactics to employ in 'Kingmaker', 'Oil War' and 'Global
War'.. and many others. Not all will appear in the next issue (!) but if
variety really is the spice of life--stick with us 'cause things is
hotting up!
