Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy Digital

For a long time now I've restricted my wargames magazine reading to Wargames, Soldiers and Strategy, which for my money is streets ahead of the competition in terms of interesting content, well-written articles and thoughtful commentary on the hobby. However, I don't buy every issue as the theme doesn't always appeal and, unless there's something else worth reading that's relevant to my interests I give it a miss. 

It's not cheap these days to follow the wargaming press but I have recently turned to digital downloads as a much less expensive alternative to the print editions. For example, I've just downloaded number 101, as it has another article for historical What a Tanker! by Mark Backhouse that is right up my street. The big advantage of the digital format is that it's about half the price of the paper copy and you can print off individual articles for a hard copy if you need one. 

This flexibility makes it a great idea, even if you don't have the satisfaction of reading it hands on, so to speak. It also means that I don't miss issues that come out over the summer, when I'm always out of the country and can't pop into WH Smiths. I've thought about taking out a digital subscription too but the fact that I'm only dipping into some issues makes that a counter intuitive option, so I'll give it a miss.... although I might put it on my Xmas wish list?
