Hi all!
First of, my apologies for writing in English. Like many Dutchmen I have no problem reading German, but writing it without butchering your language is another matter...
As you hopefully know, Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy is back among the living and, as of this month, can be found at large train stations and airports throughout Germany. Thats not why I\'m writing however. The reason I\'m posting here (and elsewhere) is to ask German wargamers to come forward and propose articles for WSS. Guy Bowers and I are very keen to make sure WSS does not become a UK/US only magazine. So, if you have a good idea about rules, a masterful brush-technique or would like to discuss some aspect of (historical) wargaming in general, please let us know. Worries about English should not stop you. We can (and will) fix it and can, in exceptional cases, even take care of translating an article!

We hope to have much more continental European input soon!

Kind regards,

Jasper Oorthuys

Das finde ich eine absolut tolle Idee. Ich glaube hier sind viele gute Leute, die mal was berichten könnten. Ich würde mich sehr freuen, wenn in einer Ausgabe mal was von einen unserer User stehen würde.
Die Taktika wäre sicherlich ein absoluter muss der berichterstattung.

Hi Jasper,
what a beautifully small world this is. It\'s been a while since the translation project of Ritterlings legio, but it\'s sure good knowing, you\'re still around. What kind of articles would you like to get covered? Or maybe, what does WSS not do? Here are some people (not me...) doing very well crafted gaming mats. Maybe you would like to take a look here: http://www.sweetwater-forum.de/index.php?page=Thread&postID=74402&highlight=spielmatten#post74402

I hope, you\'ll be around more often,

Kind regards,
Christian Urs

Willkommen im Forum, Jasper.
Ich halte das auch für eine schöne Idee. Tactica wäre auf jedenfall eine Berichterstattung wert, eventuell ja sogar mit kleiner Ankündigung im Vorfeld.  :thumbup:
Wir können ja mal was zusammenstellen gegen Ende des Jahres. Bin selbst glaube ich kein guter Author, aber wenn mir was einfällt melde ich mich, zumal ich das Blatt bereit abonniert habe und von meinen ersten beiden Ausgaben sehr angetan bin. Daher an dieser Stelle auch gleich mal ein Lob an euch, Jasper! Weitermachen!  :imsohappy:

Hi guys,
Thanks for the welcome. I didn\'t expect to be immediately covered in an avalanche of ideas. That\'s okay, I just wanted to get the word out that we\'re definitely interested in hearing from people outside of the \'usual suspects\' in the UK and US. It\'s an open invitation.

And yes, Christian, good to see you! Hmmm, that project needs a kick(start) in the pants! :sm_pirate_igitt: Those mats look really cool. A \'how to\' article would definitely be something we\'d like to see!

Best wishes

Jasper

Hi Jasper!

According to one of the members of this Forum, they try to charge 14€ at the newagent at the railwaystation in Munich. This would be a little bit to expensive :tot: . Even more then for the old WSS (10€)

Cheers

[WSS_Jasper]

Whaaaat? Thanks for the warning. I\'m going to check that immediately with our distributor. The official cover price is €4.95, tripling that seems a little, errr, insane?

[Wellington]

Yes insane indeed! Perhaps you remember I told you at the Salute that you have to have a price around 5 € to compete with WI in Germany.

[WSS_Jasper]

I agree! We\'ll see what the distributor says. Hopefully it was an employee who made a mistake.

Hi, I\'m the member how should have got charged the 14.95€.
I denied and consisted on 4.95€, the employee told that international press is always more expensive then the printed price -> I went away, I had business to do and didn\'t wanted to arguee for long.
When I came back an other employee sold the  issue for 4.95€.

The problem was that there wasn\'t a price saved in the computer of the shop.

Hope that I could helped you.

great articel on painting and game review  :sehrgut:

[WSS_Jasper]

Ahh, thanks for the explanation. Hopefully that was a one-off problem then. The explanation is *bleep* anyway, as we pay all the transport costs... :m_pirate_shock:
Glad you liked it!

Jasper

[PeryRhodan]

in Dresden main station there the same shit like Neidharts problem...


12,95 Euro cause international press... thats too expensive for me... sry* :S

[WSS_Jasper]

It\'s good I found out early. As I said, I\'ll talk to the distributor and see what they can do. It ought to be 4.95 (which is printed on the cover in fact, unless they got the \'English\' version).

Hallo beisammen,

bei welchem Kiok am Bahnhof gibts die denn zu kaufen? Finde ja leider schon die WI in München nicht mehr (gabs früher immer am Stachus) :S

Input:
Any period is fine really, just shift the focus away a bit from the English and their obscure micro-engagements.

My personal preferences would be everything 1812-14 minus Spain and a closer look at rennaisance-
wargaming in the far east. Also - I\'ve seen some really brilliant and ground-breaking tutorials here in
the forum (tags: DonVoss/Dr.Puppenhaut - gaming-carpets!). I\'d buy a Mag just to have these nicely layed out
and printed really. Well maybe not for 15 bucks, but that\'s another story.
