There have recently been rumors that Empires, Eagles & Lions was ceasing publication:

|---|
| I was told by Jean Lochet at Cold Wars 96 that all current subscribers to EE&L would be receiving a letter soon informing them that EE&L would be continuing, and containing all the information about the logistics. |
| Lance King ([email protected]) adds: |
| EE&L has resumed publication in the summer of 96. I bought a copy of vol 3 #1 at the Emperor's HQ booth at Historicon 96. EQ has recently sent a copy of that same issue to "every name we could get our hands on." With the right support their will be 2 fine napoleonic mags. EE&L and Napoleon. |
