A great White Dwarf for 40k fans, it's packed full of stuff including a 28 page campaign / battle report called "Battle for Black Reach". There is also a nice 12 page Council of Elrond article for LOTR fans including 2 scenarios "The Three Hunters" and "Defence of Rivendell".
All is not lost for Fantasy fans, there's some decent content but not loads of it, here's a brief review...
