Grenadier Magazine

It is with a mixture of great pride and a certain amount of bittersweetness that I announce that this is the last issue of ''The Grenadier'' to be done by the current Editorial Staff.

The irregularity which has become a hallmark of ''The Grenadier'' has been the product of my personal incapacities to juggle multiple priorities - being a husband, parent, corporate publishing executive, and simple Editor - these have caballed against my most excellent intentions and pious pronouncements to delay the important transfer of information from the Seats of Power to You, the Readers.

It would be both easy and facile for me to slip into a slough of self-pity brought about by the betrayal of Others, Named and Un-named. That would, however, be self-analysis...I have tried to do more that(sic) I have been personally capable of fulfilling. That is both my pride and my sin...

I am pleased to tell you all that Dr. Jay Selover, former Editor of '' Fire & Movement '' has agreed to assume the editorship of ''The Grenadier'' and that he is prepared to work toward a monthly schedule. (Gasps of horror and incredulity!)

In bestowing upon Dr. Selover the Editorial Dignity of ''The Grenadier'', I am passing my complete Trust in his understanding of the topology of Wargaming, his ability to marshall excellence from contributors, and his abiding faith that games are for fun.
