Rear Cover:


Inky's inklings: Chainmail –Review- is by Lakofka, -Additions- is attributed to Gygax. Contains rules for Giants, a chart for “individual fires with missiles”. Some other “optional rules” in this article have an unclear attribution; probably Lakofka.

I found these two lost issues! I now remember why I set the aside but haven't a clue as to how they found there way into a stray box. I removed them specifically because I found them to be intriguing. Particulary with the bits in the them about Castle & Crusade society and Domesday Book advertisement. This issue is particularly interesting because it contains one of the two rules summaries and additions published by IFW for Gary Gygax's and Jeff Perrin's CHAINMAIL.

Increment's writeup on this issue is excellent. I would only like to add that the other Chainmail article is in the January 1972 issue of International Wargamer. The advertisement for C&C society is one of 3 that I have noticed in issues. The one in this article is identical to the one found in the July 1971 issue....
