This is a short review on the first two CH products I have gotten my hands on: their first two mags CH#1 and CH#2 that are now out of print.

I performed a superior internet search DR and found a Discount Roleplaying Game dealer with copies of both. I ordered them because of the low price - the two mags would give me 25 new scenarios (CH1 - CH25).

They arrived in great condition, and I was not disappointed. If Ray and the gang ripped out all of the ASL scenarios he would have a very good wargame magazine, that is better than most on the market today.

In CH#1 there is remake of the COI favorite scenario 13 'The Capture of Balta'. The CH designer really ripped apart the old CoI OOB, changed the boards, and better than doubled the play area. In my heart I felt some offense to the designer who ripped apart one of my favorites. However, a few pages latter there is an excellent article about how the redesigner loved the CoI version, but why he choose to make the changes he did. By the end I was convinced he did the right thing.

Some excellent RB stuff is included that has me itching to play a campaign game, and a couple of good articles by Mr "Shut Up And Play" (Hi Russ).

The only bad thing is there is to say are a few annoying typos in some of the articles.

Great job on these two Ray, I really enjoyed them!
