Free miniature war gaming magazines seem to come and go as quick as one can read. This is usually caused by a lack of fan submissions or the magazine going into retail. But some manage to hold on usually with the support of the war gaming community. So lets go over what can kill a miniature war gaming magazine and what will help it survive.

1. Dedication: Many have dried up because of a lack of dedication by the authors to keep it running. Things such as real life may get in the way or a lack of support and article submissions by readers.
2. Forums: A lot of the still running magazines have used forums to help their popularity and chances of article submissions. Forums can take a lot of stress of the magazine owners by providing them ideas for new articles and discussions through the most popular post on the forums and making the community feel involved.
3. Timing: Releasing a magazine full of a articles based around a certain game during its new expansion can contribute to a magazines success. Also releasing a magazine when a popular magazine in the same genre is calling it quits can help a magazine grow as its filling a gap.
