NEXT MONTH

Can  it  get  any  better?  (Maybe  if the
magazine  actually  comes  out  on  time!)
Anyway,    to    try    to    match   this
exclusive-packed  issue,  next  issue will
hopefully    contain   a   few   exclusive
surprises  lurking  in  the  7th  snapshot
pack,  inculding  a  few never-before-seen
games.
Plus  of course, all the regulars, as well
as  the  questionnaire  results,  the next
game  in  the Raf Cecco series (guess what
that is!) and lots more!
I  won't  say  any  more  - just check out
No.7,  out in September! (Or sometime next
year, depending on your outlook! ;) )
