A Barkingly Good Read..... Barking Irons No.2

.
In need of a good wargaming read whilst on holiday, or even just to while away the daily commute to work? Then Barking Irons No.2 should be right up your street. Got to say that I am really enjoying this mag despite the fact that I'm not actually interested in any way in the likes of Flintloque, yet it still gets read cover to cover. 

I think this is because the writing and editorial style doesn't set out to be anything other than an informative and good read. And, besides as a 15mm Sci Fi gamer into ASQL2.0 you have to get it just for the Hollywood Marines Army Template!

At 32 pages Barking Irons costs £3.00 (plus £1 P&P UK, £2.50 rest of world) and is produced on comic weight paper in American quarto format.

Issue No.2 will be available for general release on 16th August. Inside you will find:
