This is a shameless advertising for a magazine we love, here at AGEod.
French readers are lucky. Indeed, they enjoy the existence of two magazines dedicated to strategy PC games. And when I say "strategy", I don't mean only "Real time strategy". No, every two monthes, I can buy a magazine with dozens of articles and analysis about Sins of Solar Empire, Fantasy Wars, Amagedon Empires, Napoleon's campaigns, etc. (this was the content of the last May Issue).
Cyberstratege is the first of these two magazines, and the most prefered by the AGEod team. Pocus regularly writes in it games reviews and in depth analysis of the games he plays.
So? Just bitching out about how lucky French PC wargamers are?
No. Just read the following:
[SIZE="6"][CENTER]CYBERSTRATEGE - PRESS RELEASE[/CENTER][/size]
[CENTER][SIZE="5"]The world-only computer strategy games magazine goes digital…
and in English![/size][/CENTER]
At last, the only computer strategy games magazine in the world is available in English! Since it was released eleven years ago, Cyberstratege has made itself famous as the only printed magazine entirely dedicated to wargames, "4X", grand strategy game, turn-based fantasy game and RTS… but it was only available in French, until now!
Many strategy players around the world have been eager to read the magazine in English. Now our extraordinary strategy articles on the best wargames as well as our exhaustive reviews, which for so long were only reserved for French speaking players and for those who could read a few words of Napoleon's mother tongue, are available to English-speakers.
The editorial team of Cyberstartege has indeed decided it was their duty to make the French printed version of the magazine more widely available. Of course, printing such a magazine and distributing it worldwide is a difficult matter, which is why we have chosen to 'go digital'. The advantages and disadvantages of an online magazine are well known : you can get the whole content on your screen in just a few seconds, but of course nothing can replace the pleasure of reading the paper version, especially when it's as nice looking as Cyberstatege... But this is, at the moment, the only way to enjoy its unique content, and, trust me, you will not find this quality of articles anywhere else on the net.
To begin with and to see if this format works, we have decided to release an "issue #0". It contains a selection of articles published in the French print magazine over the last few months, but which are still up to date. Here are a choice of reviews of some of the best wargames released in 2007 and three long strategy guides, on Europa Universalis III, Armageddon Empires and Medieval III : Total War.
For the moment, Cyberstratege digital is available on http://www.digitalnewsagent.com, but we will set up our own webstore for it in the coming weeks.
Cyberstratege is published every two months, and the next issue will be a complete adaptation of the French printed version. It will be released around June and will include a complete study of the 4x genre, a review of Sin of a Solar Empire, a strategic guide on the units of Fantasy Wars, an AAR on Napoleon's Campaign (from Ageod) and the second part of our analysis of Armageddon Empire, to mention but a few...
Now, at last, strategy lovers everywhere have a magazine entirely dedicated to their favorite games. Long live strategy games, long live Cyberstratege ...all over the world!

In issue #0 :
Strategy guides : Europa Universalis III : manage your kingdom - Armageddon Empires : the perfect deck – Medieval II : Total War : AAR with the Ottomans
Reviews : Battlefront – Silent Hunter IV – UFO Afterlight – Ageod American Civil War – and much more !

Don't be mistaken, this ain't kind of weird marketing deal.
Cyberstratege is a true quality PC wargames magazine, and if the AGEod team has decided to relay the press release, it's because we are all huge fans and we wanted to share with you our enthusiasm about this news.
All Cyberstratege readers are welcome to post about how they feel about this mag.
Meanwhile, enjoy the screenshots and spread the word!!!
Cheers,

), mainly when I find it in an airport shop. It is very difficult (impossible...) to find good mags like this one in Portugal.
