Well, since the emphasis moved away from warfare, the content has been less interesting. Mind you I am interested in the Medici!

Liked the inclusion of battle information. Wish each edition included battle information, strategy, and maps.

Great content. However, most of my issues that arrive in the mail arrived creased, and slightly damaged. I have canceled my subscription and I will just pick up a copy in our local Barnes & Noble bookseller where I can make sure there's no defects.

I like the breadth and range of the magazine but battles and wars not so much. You may think it strange that I chose Tostig Godwinson as my favourite article but I think Harold, his brother would have made a better ruler than William of Normandy for all sorts of reasons, so I had an ulterior motive for this choice.
