I'm sorry, did they say 975? How many are they hoping to sell? None? Perfect!

Yes that put me off somewhat!

He Invisible Officer... do you think you could blag a copy for review purposes

[Invisible officer]

I guess they would put some stones in that way

I write most reviews for a scientific societies magazine that set a stop at 1918. Well, it was founded in 1897 and it took a long time to get them to accept post 1871 themes. http://www.waffen-kostuemkunde.de/

I had an article written by me rejected for being too modern. About the first Tranter revolver with metal cartridges.

Is there any irony in the magazine being published in the modern age, or do they typeset by hand?

Irony, hmmm, not realy. Politics..... yes. It's published in Germany, you remember the small problems in mid 20th century ?
Stopping in 1918 they avoid a lot of problems. Even getting some financial support from the state for being a scientific society. You know the good people asking: "Arms and military? How....."


Same with ancient times or medieval times reenactment, romantic , cute, political correct. Napoleonic, hmmm colourfull, acceptable. WW I doubtfull. And WW II / modern? Bad, soooo bad. Not acceptable.


We have the same with wargaming.......

I was more referring to the irony of them refusing an article about the modern-ish revolver, but yet they are able to publish faster, better, cleaner, digitally!

That whole mid-20th century stuff I know nothing about.
