BGiMe Magazine - Issues 66-78

The issues featured in this post are the first of a new extension run to the magazine. The extension was seamless, so the people at DeAgostini did their jobs well. The next thirteen issues filled a few gaps and allowed for big expansions in existing armies.

Again, I had to trawl the 'net to get a fitting picture. In this one you can see how the plastic miniatures were packaged with the magazine. On occasion, this led to indents on the magazine from the pastic sprue, but over time many of these flattened themselves out.
