Issue II-3

We're putting the last touches to Ancient Warfare II-3 (June/July) as you read this. As befits a theme entitled 'Age of the Trireme', it has a strong maritime slant, which - for the landlubbers among you - is offset by articles on the Stratagems of Frontinus, very late Legions and the Hallstatt 'Celts'. More info will go online this Monday at Ancient-warfare.com.

Podcasts

Our first two podcasts have been download a total of over 4,500 times. That's plenty of encouragement to make some more, so we'll be working on episode three in the next few weeks. It should be ready for listening later in June.
To be able to have a few more podcasts than once every other month, we're also planning to introduce podcasts on reader's questions and Ancient Warfare debates. For the latter we'll ask two teams of debaters to prepare arguments for two sides of a problem. Probably not the 'tunic debates', but perhaps something a little more fun, such as the question who was the best ancient general. It's an ever popular question on forums, so why not debate it too?

Renewals

Remember, if you subscribed from issue I-1 (the campaigns of Agricola), your subscription has run out with Issue II-2. If you do not renew before June 10th, you WILL NOT get issue II.3. All subscribers have been e-mailed about this, but just in case you forgot or didn't get it: there's just under two weeks left to renew your subscription. We'd hate for you to miss an issue!
If you want to renew now, go to www.ancient-warfare.com and buy a one or two year (best deal!) renewal in our shop. A renewal can be bought at any time and will automatically add one or two years onto your current subscription. If you are not sure when your subscription runs out, check the address label next time you get a copy.

Themes for 2009

We're currently thinking hard about the themes for 2009, but our ideas are not set in stone just yet. In fact, we want to give you the opportunity to influence which themes will figure in Ancient Warfare next year. Check out my latest blog post with all current ideas and how to give your input. We'd love to hear from you!

Kind regards,

Jasper Oorthuys
