Editor: Derek Wilson and Glyn Roberts Issues 9 - (November 1982 - ) Zine Poll: (1983)16th; (1984) 6th; (1985) 10th; (1986) 16th; (1987) 3rd; (1988) 4th; (1989) 11th; (1990) 6th; (1991) 10th; (1992) 12th; (1993) 3rd; (1994) 8th; (1995) 10th; (1996) 16th Started life as an En Garde game in The Tinamou,
was then a subzine in Ripping Yarns and went
independent when RY disappeared (hence issue 9 was the
first independent issue). Broadened its appeal by running various
boardgames apart from En Garde, and established an early reputation
for game reviews. Early issues of C&T were a true
partnership with Glyn writing the editorials and game reviews, while
Derek managed the zine. Tragedy struck in March 1988 with Glyn’s
sudden death. Cut & Thrust continued much as before,
the use of reliable external GMs and other contributors together
with the fact that it was a visually attractive zine has made a
notable success. For a time Dane Maslen co-edited C&T
with Derek (Nos. 132 – 153).
