In fact, it is something teachers try to teach German students, since they often lack the ability to make a point. Literally...

That\'s exactly what I tried to tell my students this morning...

Tomorrow, I\'ll pay our station book store a visit and try to get the WSS.

J.S., in all honesty, putting one subclause after anothre is very German.

So is it? As luck would have it, i\'ve got a pile of WI issues on my desk and here\'s an aribtrary example from the next best copy at hand:

There were 40,000 British troops now occupying little more than a few coastal cities and towns, and the royal navy was stretched  almost to breaking trying to supply them while fending off French fleets from the English Channel to the West Indies. Moreover, the territory inland was lost to the British and there seemed little hope of turning that around, at least in the northern colonies. (WI 1265, p. 10)

According to your theory it should rather read like this:

There were 40,000 British troops now occupying little more than afew coastal cities and towns. The royal navy was stretched  almost to breaking.  It tried to supply them while fending off French fleets from the English Channel to the West Indies. The territory inland was lost to the British. There seemed little hope of turning that around, at least in the northern colonies.

If this sounds ok to you- fine. I personally prefer the first version. You should keep in mind that we aren\'t dealing with a blog entry or a free-of-charge pdf. download, but content I payed for (the \"Tactics of the Civil war\" article is even promoted on the cover page..);therefore, comparisons with you pupils at school are not really appropriate here.

And hey..if that\'s my major point of critique, the WSS mag can\'t be too bad. The rest is really perfectly fine

Alright then, having spent the evening closer srutinizing your magazine, here\'s my verdict.

J.S., I\'m quite impressed. Your verdict? So you\'re something of a Judge Dredd, giving out verdicts after having read one issue? I stand in awe. I\'m reader of WSS beginning with the first issue and I have all issues since its rebirth (for which I\'m grateful) and I have to say it is the very best magazine around (and yes, I have also subscriptions of the others). Still that is my humble oppinion only, since I\'m not in a position to give a verdict  :thankyou: .

[J.S.]

Well yes, when it comes to grant new stuff access to the very limited space of my faithful billy shelf I sometimes behave like judge dredd :whistling:
Access wasn\'t denied to WSS by the way  

[Sir Tobi]

Access wasn\'t denied to WSS by the way

A wise decision  ^^

Hi,
is there a chance to get a distributor in Wiesbaden (besides it\'s the new American HQ in Europe )

[WSS_Jasper]

I too am pleased that WSS was granted access. :sm_pirate_thumbs1:
WCT: that will probably depend on how well these issues sell... But I can ask!

[Draconarius]

I too am pleased that WSS was granted access. :sm_pirate_thumbs1:

Here it was even granted subscription.  

[WSS_Jasper]

Obviously I\'m really liking this forum so far! :sm_pirat_love:  :sm_pirat_cool:

Got the WSS and the AW in Kassel today. Both were sold for the correct price. The AW was easy to find, it was with the other international press. The WSS was placed with the magazines for youths as it contains miniature wargames like the White Dwarf. :pinch:

[WSS_Jasper]

Well, try explaining that grown men play with toy soldiers too!  :sm_pirate_biggrin:

Sorry Gentlemen, but I surrender.

I got the no. 56 at the Railway Station in Duisburg. One of 2 pieces. I was a lucky man.

Since 3 weeks I try to get there the no. 57. They told me that they had ordered 2 (!) pieces again, but no one arrived. They don´t think that they will get the WSS furthermore.

Snif Buääääh!  :crygirl:  :crygirl:  :crygirl:  :diablo:

Hi Frank
WSS is distributed Together with Ancient Warfare. The latter was delayed this month, but sent to distributors last week. I expect both to turn up soon!
