The American Wargamer was a wargaming magazine first published in 1973.
The American Wargamer was a small fanzine and the official newsletter of the American Wargaming Association. [1] The first issue appeared in December 1973. [2] Gene McCoy was the founder. [3] The title was renamed Military Digest [4] in 1984 with volume 11, no. 11. [3] It lasted until May 2000. [2] The publisher was McCoy Publishing Enterprises [4] and the headquarters was in Middleton, Wisconsin. [5]
Steve Jackson reviewed The American Wargamer in The Space Gamer No. 32. [1] Jackson commented that "This seems to be for the serious historical wargame fan - the person who plays a lot of wargames of different periods, likes to talk about them, like to write about them, likes to read about them, likes to argue about them. If you're a 'club' wargamer you may find it worthwhile to join AWA and get American Wargamer. If you're purely into science fiction, fantasy, or role-playing, here may not be much here for you." [1]
