Editor: Don Turnbull Issues: 1 - 50 (July 1969 - January 75) Zine Poll: N/A
Famous as the first ever Diplomacy zine published in the UK, issue 1
appearing on 2nd July 1969. Don had contacts with the US hobby
through his wargaming interests as so started Albion with a
small readership taken from the Avalon Hill International Kriegspiel
Society (AHIKS). The zine too quite a while to really get going and
for some time circulation stayed in the 20's. After issue 21 Don put
all the Diplomacy games into a separate zine called Courier
and issue 23 carried the news that Don had finally discovered War
Bulletin, the second Dip zine in the UK. As time went on
Albion had a longer and longer turnaround and the contents
become more wargames orientated (Diplomacy being confined to
Courier). Don planned the fold at issue 50, the final issue
being 109 pages long with 17 separate articles and three complete
games in separate supplements.
