A complete index for Battlegames magazine (all issues 1-34), is now complete and can be accessed through: link |

Phil, Thank you very much for this index! I look forward to more of the same. Thirty years of wargaming has shown me that I cannot predict what new interest I my have; that is why the index you've provided is so welcome. Great job! I've been putting magazines I have into Excel. I also include the author's name because there are some writers I really enjoy. I will be borrowing your method of checkmarks for specific topics; much more efficient than writing a long description. I do find comments helpful. If I had more experience, putting the info in a searchable data base would be even better. I've also been copying The table of contents for MWAN, The Courier, and Historical Miniature Gamer from the Wargame Vault site so that I can decide which issues I might buy. Again, thanks for your work. Terence |

Terence, Any chance you can make your efforts publicly available as well? My hope is that we can somehow make all those individual databases available for all to use. This does not mean we have to put them all in one big monsterfile – that would be rather cumbersome and would spell doom on such an effort immediately ;-) – but rather that we can make them available through our own websites, and open them for others to comment on or use.

Excellent job, Phil, thanks – nice to see my own name among the list of greats ;) |

Phil, I don't have the skills to organize a website. If my collection of content lists would help you, send me an e-mail: andrews-t"at"outlook.com. Terence |
