JagdPanther Magazine #14

ADD TO WISHLIST >

Take a journey with us back to July 1976, when a small wargame club in Amarillo Texas (led by Steve Cole) turned into a real company that produced an award-winning magazine filled with articles, variants, and reviews. The "Iron Age" of JagdPanther continued with color cardstock covers, one-piece multi-color maps, and die-cut counters.

 

The game in this issue was WARSAW PACT, a World War III game with the Russian invasion of western Europe.

      

The editorial discussed the development of the magazine, business, and industry. It mentioned some experiments we had tried and how they turned out. The main history article was about the problems faced by the Warsaw Pact in conquering Europe.

    

Rules variants included alternate minor nation activations in THIRD REICH, a better First Punic War scenario for PUNIC WARS, a way to spread out units in any strategic land game, tracking pilots in BATTLE OF BRITAIN, the missing spells for SORCERER, British amphibious landings in any game about the North African campaign against Rommel, attacking German dockside depots in NARVIK, forming battle groups from destroyed units in FRANCE 1940, rules improvements for COMBINED ARMS, and splitting fire in MIDWAY.

  

Alternate history scenarios included German units in SPANISH CIVIL WAR, an alternate starting line for WAR IN THE EAST, German and Italian intervention in CHACO, and German intervention in PORT ARTHUR.

  

New units included: submarines in the SPI game CA, stats for newly deployed real world units in MECH WAR, airborne and Marine units for REVOLT IN THE EAST, Dutch units in CROMWELL, shore batteries in WOODEN SHIPS AND IRON MEN, masked merchantmen in GLOBAL WAR, stats for more armored vehicles for TANK, and ironclads in the game FRIGATE.

 

New scenarios were provided for PANZER ARMEE AFRIKA (focusing on El Alamein), American intervention in a South American banana war in VIVA, a later scenario for WHITE BEAR AND RED MOON, a Wake Island scenario for MARINE, unbalanced scenarios in any naval game, WEST WALL (using units from each of the four games in the others), an alternative WW3 scenario for ANVIL-DRAGOON, and an Italian scenario for PANZER LEADER.

      

Reviews included BAR LEV, SEA STRIKE, BRANDY STATION, and FORMALHAUT II.

       

The company was riding high and paying its bills (but not its owners). Nobody knew that the company had only four months to live.

$10 for a hard-to-read pdf of one issue of a 40-year-old magazine? What alternate universe do you live in?

You might actually sell some if it were $10 for all of them.

John, you might not realize that these are highly collectible, with paper copies going for as much as $100. Because these were basically typewritten fanzines, a lot of work goes into making these as readable as they are -- the originals are quite faded.

Basically, we were contacted by fans of the title and asked to do the work to make the issues available as PDFs. We did. As they do take a good amount of time and effort, the company must turn a profit; thus the price. We realized that only "true fans" would want them.

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.

Original electronic format
These ebooks were created from the original electronic layout files, and therefore are fully text searchable. Also, their file size tends to be smaller than scanned image books. Most newer books are in the original electronic format. Both download and print editions of such books should be high quality.
