I think that for you to say that the magazine has little or nothing to offer Axis reenactors is not correct. TFH, as you know, had a two issue article about the fall of Berlin. You can't get more Axis than the Fuhrer bunker! And as you also like to keep pointing out; We are not Axis reenactors. So I think there is no malice towards the Axis side of the hobby from Skirmish, or its readership. We've had nothing but positive feedback from it. And we featured everyone from VSt, FJ, French SS and the LAH.
KDF- As I said before, we all do this 'for the love' of it. Each person goes in to it with their own set of criteria. As you say, not everyone wants to get on film or in print and there are those that can be blinded by 'the glory' of the media - hopefully there are not too many of those types involved in this hobby. Anyway, I think you're too old for Blue Peter now...

Skirmish is like I said a business ...and only does it to make money....they may have an interest,but there are many periods of history to cover.I dont think many articles covering WW2 are good enough reason to keep buying it!
Yep it`s each to their own...And as for folk..."Being blinded by the glory of the media..." Well it seems there`s enough of that going about on here! I now realise why hardly anyone out of the total memberlist answers such posts...it`s cause we don`t actually wish to prolong some conversations about how great some groups are...and while this IS an Axis forum, there are groups who are not Axis on here .....and would be better off being on there?

Oh yes...I am to old for Blue Peter and for F##king about infront of camera`s ....
