The March-April 1976 issue of Panzerfaust and Campaign featured the first annual subscriber awards (with the actual awards presented at Origins II).
In January-February 1976, the magazine had its first name change, to Panzerfaust and Campaign, the start of a transition that would finish in 1977. The feature article was a travelogue encompassing Origins I and several wargame companies.
The November-December 1975 issue was the last one under the original Panzerfaust name. This issue featured the news from Origins I, and interviews with Gamma Two (Columbia) Games and Jedko Games.
The September-October 1975 issue of Panzerfaust stayed on schedule, and featured an interview with Gary Gygax.
Back on a regular schedule that would last for several years, Panzerfaust picked up cover dates again in the middle of 1975.
In May 1970, a new small business was launched: a mail-order hobby store geared towards wargaming, especially for miniatures. The business would grow, incorporating other secondary businesses, like Guidon Games (whose first product is featured in this catalog), The Toy Soldier (a physical store that opened in 1973), Panzerfaust Publications (centered on the magazine of the same name, bought in 1972), and Lowry Enterprises, which became the holding company for them all, and was a short-lived wholesale distributor.
The last issue to go without a date, this is the May-June 1975 issue. The masthead proclaimed “Incorporating CAMPAIGN Magazine”, marking the end of efforts to sell that magazine to someone else.
The fourth issue of Lowrys Guidon came out in October 1972, just before the business moved to Maine. This was the final supplement to the 1972 Discount Catalog, with the 1973 Catalog coming out a few months later.
Roughly the March-April 1975 issue, this was the second one produced in Fallbrook, CA.
