As is frequently the case in amateur societies, the articles vary very much in quality, although on the whole they are very good. They tend to detailed historical descriptions of various wars, uniforms and so on, with perhaps a few hints on how to wargame them thrown in. "Pure" wargaming articles are rather rare.

As examples of the type of article you can expect, these are the contents of the last two issues:

Volume 20, no V

Editorial
Figure Review
Mercurius (reviews)
The Counts War (Denmark 1533-36)
The White Sheep in the Fold Have Passed the Way (Central Asia, 15th C)
The German Peasant War 1524-25
The Conquistadores
French infantry Colours c1525

Volume 20, no VI

French Wars of Religion Special
Post House (letters)
AGM Minutes
Notes & Queries
1494-The Megagame
Rules Survey
The Hugenots in the New World
The French Settlements in Florida 1562-5
French Wars of Religion Without Tears
The Hugenot Army of the Wars of Religion
French Gendarmes in the 1560's
The Capture of Castres 1574
Notes of French Royal and Princely Bodyguards
Two Hugenot Cornets

Definitely a publication for the Renaissance enthusiast who wants their horizons widened, rather than the dabbler -- although the descriptions of highly obscure wars (to us in the UK anyway) can lead to ideas in any era.
