Operations Magazine (1991-2010) was Multi-Man Publishing's house organ for articles and discussion about its wargamingproducts. The stated aim of Multi-Man Publishing was to have Operations be to their line of games what The General was to Avalon Hill's line of products. It was published from 1991 to 2010, when it was replaced by a new magazine called Special Ops.
The first issue of Operations Magazine was published in the summer of 1991 by The Gamers and was printed regularly until The Gamers were taken over by MMP. The magazine was produced quarterly, until Issue 42 when production slowed to semi-regular status (with only one issue being produced in 2003, and two issues a year in 2004 and 2005). Bruce Monnin, formerly of Boardgamer magazine, became editor of Operations beginning with the Fall 2004 edition (issue 46). The last issue was #53 in the Fall of 2008, but there were also three Special Operations issues published yearly in 2008-2010 that had additional content such as full games, maps and counters. In Summer 2011 MMP published the first issue of its new "house organ" called Special Ops.
