 What they say about us...
We know Ancient Warfare is awesome, but don't take our word for it. Here's a selection of comments about the magazine elsewhere on the web:
Great magazine
I am very happy with the magazine. It's not an in-depth scholarly publication, but the contributors have strong credentials as writers and historians with a specialty in the field. The illustrations are superb [...] I highly recommend the magazine to anyone who is interested in the ancients period (as you know from my earlier post that I am).
Excellent
[...]the magazine does a fantastic job of bringing current scholarship to the fore in a readable way. There is obviously a pattern for the articles, and the idea of devoting half of the magazine to a particular topic is a good one. What I loved about it was its aesthetic quality. The magazine is all in colour, chock full of diagrams, photographs and full page colour plates. I’m no expert on the ancient world but I do have a lively interest and consider myself well read in the area. So for a magazine to grip me and teach me something new rather than rehash the same old information, as some Military History magazines do, is a pleasurable rarity. My final verdict? When my trial subscription ends I will take out out a full subscription. Alongside Battlegames, it is the best magazine I have found in a long time.
A top-notch publication
[...]of extreme interest to history buffs and to fans of warfare in the Ancient World, the special focus on classical Greek and Roman civilizations makes it an incredibly valuable reference to those who wargame using those particular armies. I can also recommend this publication to teachers and professors of history. It is absolutely worth every cent of the cover price. In all honesty, I'd be willing to pay £10 each issue for everything that I got out of this magazine.
Wonderful
Ancient Warfare (Vol.III Issue 2) dropped through my letterbox, and I immediately did what I do with all magazines at first – flick through quickly and look at the pictures. In the minute or so it took me to do this, I could see that this was a magazine that I would read cover to cover, review or no review pending. I was greeted by a series of detailed maps, wonderful reconstruction paintings, detailed articles and mouth watering ads full of enticing books and re-enactment gear.
Inspirational
While discussing sources of inspiration for wargamers, Henry Hyde (editor of Battlegames magazine) and Neil Shuck (Meeples and Miniatures podcast), they segue the Teutoburg forest into Ancient Warfare. Click to listen to a clip...
Highly recommended (and full color)
