This is the page for Sweep of History Games Magazine, an e-zine about games and history,  Issue 3 was the last issue.

Issue 3 (Fall '06) is available in PDF and not-much-formatted HTML.  This link will lead you to a separate page where I have placed a hit counter to get some idea of how many downloads occur.

Issue 2 (Spring '06) is available in PDF format ( optimized to < 500K).   This link will lead you to a separate page where I have placed a hit counter to get some idea of how many downloads occur.

Issue 1 is available in PDF Format (you may have to download this in order to read it, I get an error in Firefox) or the (largely unformatted) HTML version.   Because neither WordPerfect nor Word 2003 can successfully convert the file to .DOC format, a .DOC version is unavailable!

 

New Polls: A Britannia color comparison poll is now open here.  A Brit event frequency poll is open here.

A brief subject poll for those interested in Britannia-like games is here.  Recent results are here.  A second "sweep of history" poll is here, results here.
