I don't recall GDW having a house magazine. They did have one done out of house called Command Post Quarterly, but it was strictly for the miniature rules Command Decision.

There was also the problem that GDW didn't see BM as a big seller. Frank and I had been having lunch and discussing game design when he said he wanted me to design a game. If I did, he would publish it. He assumed I would do a ground game but kept his word as to publishing whatever I came up with. Therefore we have BM. The actual production of it was more of a headache than any other game they were designing or publishing at the time. When it finally went to press the order was only for break-even, not make lots of money on it. Once the first production run was sold that was it.

Thanks for those sites. I would have given a lot to have the internet back then.
