    You know this community is amazing, the latest giveaway Ancient Warfare Magazine Special has already over 200 entries, (so drop quickly a line that you are interested if you haven`t yet), the amazing thing though is how many people are actually dropping a little line, "how they like the site, how they appreciate the community, how they look forward to all the freebies, the book reviews etc... but most of all, that many want to give back, they tell me almost apologetic that they dont have the capacity or the knowledge to write articles or the skills to write a review but would still like to help the site. Very often, they mention that they would like to donate a few dollars to keep the site running. (btw. i reply to each and everyone in person)

    ...and now cheers!
