JagdPanther Magazine #8

Take a journey with us back to 1975, when a small wargame club in Amarillo, Texas (led by Steve Cole) produced an award-winning magazine filled with articles, variants, and reviews.

The cover was actually a photograph taken during World War II, but the cover was still black and white (as were all of the inside pages in every issue). The magazine was now 11 inches tall, and printed on 11×17 paper so it could be bound as a book. (The first seven issues had been on 14-inch paper and stapled into books.) Counters were still paper printed and "ready-to-mount" by wargamers seeking innovative new games and willing to glue their counters to whatever sheet of cardboard came to hand and cut them out with a stout pair of scissors.
