Donald Featherstone's Wargaming Newsletter - Weblink
I discovered these during Covid - it passed several hours reading - especially entertaining to read about the feuds and arguments over Miniature Figurines when they first started.
What issues was that .. at the end it seemed more Magazine than Newsletter ,, I originally thought it was just a Fanzine but it seemed to be more than that!
I too in lockdown enjoyed reading through these Wargamers Newsletters online (and the year of such loose mags I have for 1969), following the 60s Airfix releases and then the birth of 15mm of Peter Laing figures from 1972/23 onwards. https://collectingpeterlaing15mmfigures.wordpress.com/
