Peter Konieczny wrote up a chronological guide to Medieval Warfare issues (and see now for Medieval World), and readers immediately asked for an Ancient Warfare one as well. Happy to oblige of course, and I'll try to keep it up to date as well! So here's a list of issues in chronological order, though not exactly by century. There's quite a bit of overlap, and many issues overrun a period, so these are by necessity not overly strict. Can't choose and love it all? Then why not subscribe?
