Ares (magazine)

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

For other uses of the term, see Ares (disambiguation).

Ares was a science fiction wargame magazine published by Simulations Publications, Inc. (SPI). In addition to the articles, each issue contained a wargame, complete with a foldout stiff paper map, a set of cardboard counters, and the rules.

There were a total of 17 issues printed, plus two special issues. The SPI company had come into financial difficulties and was bought out by TSR, Inc., who ceased publication of this magazine, though they did briefly run a section in Dragon Magazine by the title, treating it as almost a separate magazine.
