Wargames Illustrated #272

Thanks to one of the local gaming stores, The Panzer Depot, which sends out newsletter emails - I picked up a copy of Wargames Illustrated #272. This issue includes the Osprey MAA Napoleon's Guard Infantry (1). That alone is worth twice the cost of the magazine. I actually picked the mag up at another closer (to me) gaming store, The Game Matrix.

Here's the info on the newsletter from The Panzer Depot:
