Apathy of the New Releases (Mar '18)

Initiate selfish rant: My monthly Apathy post, listing the choice items out of the latest Game Trade Monthly has been a pretty consistent process.  Usually the next month's issue comes up in PDF on the 10th, and I try to get the post up for the 26th.

For the month of February, I waited and waited for issue #217 to appear on the downloads, but nothing appeared.  Issue #216 is hiding in the downloads, but the common link for the most recent GTM hadn't been updated since #215!  Someone needs to update their website, pronto! 

Monday, I ended up swinging by the FLGS and lo' and behold, hardcopies of the issue were on the counter. 

Once I persused the pages, I understood why they were "hiding this from me."  Lots of promotional articles, and not much in the way of primo "This will keep the store in business" merchandise getting solicited.  In fact, this might be the largest assembly of heavy duty chit-based wargames in the GTM since I started reading it with issue #1.
