5.0 out of 5 stars A brilliant blend of Military History and Interactive Fictio, September 5, 2004
By

This review is from: Armchair General (Magazine)
Archair General Magazine features articles on military history but with a twist. There are tactical studies which introduce the reader to the agonies of command decisions and illustrate possible outcomes of various courses of action. Most of these are written by John Antal, Col. USA (retired) author of many fine books including "Proud Legions".

Also, each issue to date has included a download link to a complete wargame in Adobe .PDF format on their website. The latest of these, "Brothers By My Side" by Mark H. Walker, is an outstanding recreation of the Battle of LZ X-Ray in the Ia Drang Valley, Vietnam made famous in the book and movie "We Were Soldiers". Companion articles tell the story of General Hal Moore's lifelong study of the art of command, the making of the movie with Mel Gibson, and a look at the battle itself.

This is sort of a blend of military history and wargaming interest magazine, and very well worthwhile.

5.0 out of 5 stars Military History Magazine...with a new format, July 7, 2005
By 
JT (Danbury, CT USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Armchair General (Magazine)
If you have ever read the "choose your own adventure" books you will truly enjoy this magazine. It not only talks about military history in a colorful way (with drawings, pictures and maps) but there are several scenarios included where you need to pick the outcome. Based on your decision, you turn to a different page and it tells you if you made the right or wrong decision.

Very original and enjoyable format. I'm actually surprised no one else has thought of doing this style of magazine before.

This review is from: Armchair General (Magazine)
I have always subscribed to Military History and Military Heritage Magazine, so between the two bi-monthlies I have a magazine a month to read. I was looking to supplement them with another and tried MHQ as well as Armchair General. Armchair General makes the most effort to be unique among all of the magazines. The articles are not as in depth as the other magazines and are made for sort attention spans. They cover a wide array of topics from warriors, to weapons, as well as battles. They also have an interactive section that challenges you to come up with your own strategy for victory in a historic scenario. I do like my regular magazines more, but for quick fun reads I like to pick this up as well. This is also much more approachable for the military history novice.
