To quote Professor Farnsworth, “Good news everybody!”
Battlegames Magazine is saved. Editor Henry Hyde revealed to me that Atlantic Publishers are becoming the new owners. They publish Miniatures Wargames magazine plus several model railroading titles.
Battlegames will continue on as a bi-monthly, stand-alone, publication with Henry as its editor/designer/writer. New issues will appear around New Year’s at the latest.
There should be no noticeable change since Atlantic Publishers, which has lots of money behind them plus a crack team of magazine professionals supporting their titles, is keeping Henry on.
A result of this acquisition is that existing Battlegames subscribers will keep their subscriptions. As new issues are released subscribers will continue to receive them in whatever format their subscription covers. I, for example, will get new issues digitally.
I have not been notified of any price changes to subscriptions or cover price.
This news has me ecstatic that not only will my favorite wargaming magazine continue publication, in both print and digital formats, but that Henry remains at the creative helm.
Definitely good news!

HAHAHAHAHA
Great news! While not a magazine I read (due to my not playing this particular style of game), I think the contribution to the community can’t truly be measured. I’m glad they’ll be keeping Mr. Hyde on, this will allow for a sense of continuity for the long time readers and subscribers.
