Incoming! Is a monthly e-zine dedicated to miniature wargaming with a special focus on the Net Epic rules (a variant of Games Workshop second edition Space Marine game). Incoming! will cover a multitude of topics in each issue ranging from new rules and unit creation for use in Net Epic to battle reports, strategy reviews and background stories.
Since this is our first issue a tour of the e-zines regular sections is in order. Each issue will contain the following:
This section will give an overview of the e-zine and highlight its major articles. Also the e-zines table of contents will be located here. The Administratum will also inform its readers regarding any changes in the e-zines format as well as petition articles according to specific themes that Incoming! will focus upon in the future.
Section dealing with tips on how to build, deploy and how to crush your enemies! The articles can be generic or army specific.
In addition to the strategy articles battle reports will appear here, sometimes illustrating points made in the articles!
The section deals in presenting all the latest creations by the Net Epic Discussion Group. I realize we have been quiet for quite some time, but this is the reason. Now each month new rules systems and units will appear here for your gaming pleasure!
You find here all sorts of interesting (and weird) variants that use the epic rules, but deal in all sorts of different backgrounds. From Star Wars to Smurfs its all here!
Got a flair for writing? Heres your chance! This section will present each month a story in the Warhammer 40k universe for our readers enjoyment. Who knows, we might just get some inspiration for more rules from some of your stories!
There are many good games out there, all they need is exposure! This section deals in showcasing and reviewing the enormous host of non-GW games on the market. In addition the section will also present articles, battle reports and scenarios created for these games.
All sorts of interesting pictures and mugshots will appear here. No telling what youll see here!
Our hard working webmaster Simon Dodds will host this section that dedicates itself to finding out what people really what out of Net Epic as well as poll our readers on their opinions on certain rules and their interpretations. This section has a direct impact on what becomes official in the Net Epic rules!
All projects and articles in the pipe for future issues will also be mentioned here - stay tuned!
Lets see whats in this issue!
I would like to thank gamers everywhere for the support in the last two years. This is our gift to you! Without you Incoming! and Net Epic wouldnt exist. On behalf of the Net Epic Discussion Group thank you and
Happy Holidays!
Peter
