From the publisher of Strategy & Tactics:
World at War
magazine provides a sharp focus
on WWII with the same in-depth format as
Strategy & Tactics.
Each issue includes a fea-
ture article from the Western and Mediterranean
Theater, the East Front, the Pacific Theater, and
a category for other battles and campaigns ( bat-
tles and campaigns not fitting a specific theater,
such as the Battle of the Atlantic, the Spanish
Civil War, or what-if battles such as Sealion or
Moscow 1941). Games also rotate through those
four categories.
