Webmaster's Note

The original printed version of the above magazine was published by Wessex Games in the Winter of 1995. It's cover price was £1.95 and it was an A5 booklet, staple bound with a colour card cover. It is considered quite a rarity amongst Flintloque collectors and several issues have appeared on eBay over the years at some very high prices indeed.

This is a very very special update on OITW for me. Even though most of the above articles have been available here for a while, providing'virtual' issues of Orcs in the Hills is the very reason I started this site.

I'd like to say a very big thank you to Gavin Syme and Steve Blease; Gavin providing me with scans of the issue as it's one of the two I don't actually own; And Steve for giving me permission to reprint the articles so many years ago.
