rating systems.C'est Magnifique (CMag) was the postal games fanzeen I ran for 142 issues, from 1985 to 1994. I won't ever have a full set of back-issues available on-line. But, inspired by Stephen Agar's scans of classic zeens, I have scanned the occasional issue, mainly for my own amusement or interest. Note that, in most cases, these are scans of the mimeo file copies. They are therefore of somewhat variable quality/legibility.
It was revived in 2013 to provide a home for the detailed games reports for the Octopus's Garden 7 x 7 Gunboat Diplomacy Tournament.
