Subscribe to the PDF version of Battlegames here

Just want a digital subscription to the magazine? Then you've come to the right place. As each new bi-monthly issue is published, you will be sent an email containing a link to a members-only page on our website where you can download your PDF copy of the magazine.

All new subscriptions start with the next issue to be published, i.e. NOT the current issue shown on our home page and here. If you would like a copy of the current issue, please purchase it as a single issue. Re-subscriptions will begin with the next issue in sequence based on our database records of your existing subscription. You can re-subscribe or extend your subscription at any time — we will automatically tag your new subscription onto the end of your previous one, unless you request otherwise. You can give additional instructions during the PayPal process, e.g. to re-subscribe from a particular issue. See example here.

NB Please note that our subscriptions are for a full year (six issues). We thank purchasers for respecting copyright laws and supporting our small company.

Note: for technical reasons, the stand-alone digital subscription must be purchased separately and cannot at present be added to your shopping cart with printed or other digital issues.

One year (six issue) digital subscription to Battlegames
(anywhere in the world): £14.00

Paper subscribers' digital add-on subscription

Do you already subscribe to the printed magazine? Would you like to have back-up digital copies that you can also read on your PC, Mac, iPad, laptop or other portable device? Well, now you can, and at a great price too!

Our Add-On Digital Subscription is designed to run alongside your existing subscription to the paper magazine. Every time we publish a new issue, you will be sent an email containing a link to a page on our website where you can download your PDF copy of the magazine.

If you are already a current subscriber, we will back-date your digital subscription to commence with the issue with which your current paper subscription started and send you an email containing links where you can download your PDF copies of the relevant issues. (For example, if your current sub started with issue 21, then we will send you a link to download the PDF of issue 21 first.)

Re-subscriptions begin with the next issue in sequence based on our database records of your existing subscription. You can re-subscribe or extend your subscription at any time — we will automatically tag your new subscription onto the end of your previous one, unless you request otherwise. All new subscriptions start with the next issue to be published, i.e. NOT the current issue shown on our home page and here. You can give additional instructions during the PayPal process, e.g. to re-subscribe from a particular issue. See example here.

If you are a current paper subscriber, and would like to purchase individual back issues pre-dating your current paper subscription, see below.

Paper subscribers' digital duplicates

Do you already subscribe to the printed magazine? Would you like to have back-up digital copies of issues pre-dating your current subscription that you can also read on your PC, Mac, laptop or other portable device?

Here's how it works. You select the back issues you would like to purchase below, and add them to your cart. We check our records, verify you as a current paper subscriber, and then send you an email containing links to pages on our website where you can download your PDF copies of previous issues. At just £1.00 per issue, it's a bargain way to catch up!

EDITOR'S NOTE: I think this is going to prove very popular, so please bear with me. I will get your download links to you as quickly as possible, usually within 24 hours, but please allow up to 72 hours. I'm working towards automating the system so that access will be almost instant. This will be part of a planned revamp of the entire site which will enable you to have usernames and passwords which will instantly verify your identity.

Download The Motherlode: (issues 1-24), SAVE A MASSIVE 15% *and* GET THE TABLE TOP TEASERS VOLUME 1 ABSOLUTELY FREE!

Here's a bargain basement and convenient way of owning every single issue of the first four volumes (issues 1-24) of your favourite wargame magazine all in one go AND GET THE PDF VERSION OF THE TABLE TOP TEASERS VOLUME 1, WORTH £5, ABSOLUTELY FREE!

If you're new to Battlegames, this massive collection is the perfect way to bring you up-to-date with the magazine and also to get additional entertainment from our famous Table Top Teasers series by Brigadier Charles S Grant. In this first volume, we celebrate that heritage by reproducing the very first Teaser that was ever printed back in Battle for Wargamers in 1978, together with the first twelve of the Battlegames Teasers and, following a discussion of the use of historical battles as the basis for scenarios, a brand new Teaser based on the Peninsular War battle of Roliça.

In addition, there are contributions from well-known wargamers who have adapted and re-fought some of the Teasers themselves, delivering entertaining and informative accounts accompanied by a host of colour photographs. With several brand new maps, extra photos and additional material, there’s something here for every wargamer serious about having fun.

To buy these issues individually would normally cost you £47.65, but you can buy them right here for just £40.50 — that's 15% off the normal price! And yes, that's right, I'm throwing in the PDF version of the Table Top Teasers Volume 1, worth another £5, for nothing, nichts, rien, nada!

That's a massive value of £52.65 for just £40.50!
