=====================================

Scribe's Musings: I am sure to trumpet Gygax's articles and game design as I go along through these zines. All contributors are excellent with their articles. Gygax interest spans a number of different genres and always comes to his writing well armed with historical research to which he applies to the development of gaming mechanics. This game article in this issue concerns Ancient/Medieval campaign of Roman wars in Africa.
