-
- For about a year now, I've run a newsletter, _The Wargame Collector's Journal_.
- It's now able to pay for itself, and I'd like to take the newsletter up to the
- next phase. This entails increasing its exposure, its quality, its size (from
- 8 to 20 pages or so), its content (more reviews on new games to compliment
- the collectibles) and, as a result, its cost. I'm personally willing to put
- up 60% of the cost of capitalization as I transform my company, Hexessential
- Publications, from a sole proprietorship into a Subchapter S corporation, but
- wouldn't mind spreading the risk a bit.
-
- As a result, I'm looking for investors in this venture, to be renamed _Paper
- Wars_. I'm looking for folks interested in investing in increments of $500
- ($500, $1000, $1500, etc...). Because there is some risk involved, I'm
- offering an ROI of around 15% annually, or 50% within three years of
- incorporation.
-
- If you keep track of wargaming's doings, most of you who read this will tend
- to agree that our hobby's flagship, _Fire & Movement_, just doesn't come close
- to what it once was in its glory days. I think that _Paper Wars_ can step up
- to that mantle, and can do so on a sound financial footing. If you agree with
- me and want to aid our hobby while (hopefully) turning a profit in the process,
- please contact me via email for a copy of my pro forma statement. (Serious
- inquiries only, please.)
-
- If you feel the need to contact me between Christmas Eve and January 4th, I'll
- be available at (913) 843-4893.
