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.
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.
Roughly the March-April 1975 issue, this was the second one produced in Fallbrook, CA.
This issue was the first one produced in Fallbrook, CA, which would be the home of the magazine for the rest of its life. This, and the next couple would still carry no cover date, but this one is being considered December ’74/January-February ’75.
This was the last issue produced in Maine, and has a reconstructed date of October-November 1974.
By the reconstructed schedule, this was the August-September 1974 issue. The big news this time was the sale of Lowrys Hobbies (the original mail-order store) to Pete Rice, under the name “The Toy Soldier”.
