All Guns Blazing — June 2009

Page 1 of 2 Pages All Guns Blazing! Newsletter of the Naval Wargames Society No. 182 – June 2009 Editorial As you may recall, this is to be my final issue of “All Guns Blazing” before I head off into another temporary “retirement”. The last few months have been quiet on the NWS front, at least as far as submissions to the newsletter are concerned – not so here at “Manley Mansions” where domestic and “work” life continue to ramp up. Work in particular, where my efforts in the service of Her Majesty’s Navy have taken me on some pretty interesting trips just recently. Still, I digress. Richard Wimpenny takes over as of July and I hope that you will all support him as he takes on the mantle of newsletter editor. Hopefully he will be better at hitting the AGB publication deadline than me! Signing off, DM david.manley@btinternet.com MINDEN GAMES – Discount for NWS Members Dr Gary Graber of Minden games writes: As you may know, I also am in charge of Minden Games, and we publish several naval titles, a couple of which, I believe, you may be reviewing. As several other companies have, I'd like to extend a discount to NWS members... if they mention their membership number, they can receive 15% off any Minden naval game. Our website (www.homestead.com/minden_games) lists all products, price info, etc. Clicking on the PRICES link will get the full list of products, and ordering information. Many thanks, and know that I appreciate reading BATTLEFLEET whenever it arrives. Best, Dr. Gary Graber 356 Wilmont Avenue #2 Ottawa, Ontario K2A 0B1 Canada Our thanks to Gary for making this discount available – it is greatly appreciated!
