Issue 79 (May-June 1977) saw the final name change to Campaign and a redesign of the cover by Dana Lombardy to a full-bleed image with a ‘featured’ block in the lower-right corner.
Issue 78 (March-April 1977) of Panzerfaust and Campaign kept the same general cover design as the previous issue.
The cover layout changed for issue 77 (January-February 1977) of Panzerfaust and Campaign, avoiding a need for a full bleed, but overall format of the magazine stayed the same.
The third full-size issue of Panzerfaust and Campaign (#76, November-December 1976) gained another four pages, but kept the same overall format, and used the same cover illo as #52.
The second full-size issue of Panzerfaust and Campaign (#75, September-October 1976) gained four pages, but kept the same overall format.
Panzerfaust and Campaign went to full size (8 ½” × 11″) with the July-August 1976 issue. Page count went down to compensate, but overall size went up.
May-June 1976 issue of Panzerfaust and Campaign would be the last one in digest format. Feature articles were on the Algerian War and Avalon Hill’s 1776.
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.
