Little Wars Magazine

So I’ve got complete PDF collections of Dragon, Strategic Review, even Imagine from the UK, but Little Wars has been tough to find. Any leads on these 12 issues?

Having said that, the topic of Little Wars magazine in general is a good one.

I've only seen a couple of (print) issues of Little Wars. It was a wargame magazine with little to no OD&D content in it, so I didn't have much interest in reading other issues. I remember an interesting article on naval warfare in AH's Kingmaker game, but not much else. Does anyone else have any favorite Little Wars articles they want to discuss?

Since last posting, I now have the COMPLETE physical collection of Little Wars!!
Looking forward to 12 issues of wargaming goodness.

Thread arise!

Interesting to me that I can find copies of THE DRAGON and STRATEGIC REVIEW and WHITE DWARF and a bunch of old 1970's era gaming magazines in PDF form online (or through purchased CD-ROM disks) but not LITTLE WARS. I think that Little Wars was mostly miniatures and wargame gaming and thus has potentially little of interest to me nowadays, but it would be interesting to look at the contents of some of the issues.

I think I have one issue; the one with the Kingmaker variant.

Has anyone looked at Little Wars magazine as a physical or electronic thing? Is there much of value therein?

I think it's because the SR and the Dragon PDFs were released on the Dragon Magazine Archive, so they were widely copied on the net, but Little Wars never had the same treatment.

I only own one Little Wars magazine, but overall it is a very good wargame magazine. The one I have is about the French and Indian War and has a very nice set of skirmish rules inside.
