Volume 3, Issue 3 (In stock)July 2010 Kama As publishers we have a commitment to our readers and Advertisers, we try to deliver our publication on time, with current informative editorial. We know that we deliver this because of our increasing circulation and constant feedback we get from you guys. However recently we had a huge spanner thrown in the works that has meant that we have had to pull our belts in (as a number of other publishers also have) as we deal with the fallout of our distribution company failing. The ramifications will certainly be felt for a long time by the UK news trade with publishers bearing the brunt. However we have been one of the lucky ones as we have managed to move our whole distribution over to our new partners Comag. So what does this all mean? I'll tell you- it means that Raider will become bigger and better than ever before, with Comags help and complete understanding of our products we will be ramping up our news trade availability and visibility, not only here but all over the world. I just hope that other publishers out there who were/are MMC clients can withstand the financial crisis that through no fault of their own find themselves in. To all our troops wherever they may be? Keep your head down and stay safe. The Future is bright the futures RAIDER.....

Volume 3, Issue 2 (In stock)June 2010 It's all change here at FOB Raider This month not only see's a number of changes out in Afghanistan as units return home and are replaced in strategic patrol bases and FOB's, but yet again its all change here at FOB Raider. As publishers we are never quite happy nor satisfied with Raider (you may have noticed a number of small tweaks over the last few editions?) it's all to do with the evolution of Raider. We make no apology that we want to be the best Independent Military publication out there (from the feedback that you guys are giving us) we are certainly on the right tracks. For us it's all about providing a service and building a trusted brand. There is one part of the building blocks to Raiders success that we have never been happy with (so if you're not happy with things you change them) and that's what we are planning to do. Our in theatre circulation is second to none (source Higgs International), but our domestic circulation (we've always thought needed to be better) not in terms of availability, but more to do with visibility, and much higher market penetration, so to this end we are ramping up our Global in store activity and pushing hard to make sure where there is an outlet for Raider, then Raider is on sale there. To all our troops wherever they may be? Keep your head down and stay safe. The Future is bright the futures RAIDER.....

Volume 3, Issue 1 (In stock)May 2010 Another year passes by Who would have thought it, Raider goes into its third year of publishing! We are somewhat different than other publishers out there because for us it's not about profit or hitting advertising targets or selling last minute deals, it's all about providing a service and getting copies of Raider into the hands of the people that matter which is you guys our readers. It would be fair to say that we don't have photographers in the field and why would we want them when we can tie into combat photography teams who are more than happy to supply us with some of the best in theatre photography you'll ever see. There's no point in us putting reporters in the field, because we get first hand accounts from the people that matter, Soldiers, Sailors and Aircrew, with amazing insights that no reporter, however good he or she is will ever be able to supply. Raider is unique and will continue to be so. To all our troops wherever they may be? Keep your head down and stay safe. The Future is bright the futures RAIDER.....

Volume 2, Issue 12 (In stock)April 2010 Right on Target Sifting through the mail we get from ISAF troops, it seems that Raider is rapidly becoming a firm favourite, it seems that you guys simply can't get enough of our no BS approach to kit testing and gear reviews. Raider is attracting two very distinct sides to our readership, which in turn is generating some interesting feedback. But because we want to improve what is already a very popular publication, we will be in the next few editions publishing an independent reader's survey (basically to find out more about you guys). A successful publication attracts exclusive advertisers as they believe that the publication they have selected can deliver, and deliver Raider does- despite Raider being the cheapest subscription package out there, we've pulled off yet another exclusive offer. Working with Highlander we are offering the first twenty subscribers (from this issue) a completely FREE Pro force Tomahawk pack worth a whooping ﾣ56.99 that's almost ﾣ100 of free gifts when you subscribe for ﾣ25.00. We can only offer this gift to UK subscribers though. And if that's not enough we're gearing up and working with partners such as Thatch Reed and Osprey publishing to cover mount some amazing freebees, but that's not all, over the coming months we will also be publishing a number of posters and other cool stuff, that we know your gonna love. To all our troops wherever they may be? Keep your head down and stay safe. The Future is bright the futures RAIDER.....

Flood warning in Nevada ... what's the world coming to? Anyway we've got a whole heap of exclusives for you guys. Such as the all new very first jumpable plate carrier, that we know you airborne guys are gonna want. Talking about the Airborne, we've just struck a deal with 16 Air Assault (through PJHQ) where we will be sending you guys Raider each and every month (Keep an eye out in your respective messes).

Volume 2, Issue 9 (In stock)January 2010 Welcome to 2010......... As the world slips effortlessly into a brand new year, we here at Raider (as I'm sure you) can't help but wonder what's in store. From our point of view its quite simple - more of what you guys have come to love about Raider, more tried and tested, more group tests and gear reviews (not to mention a whole heap of exclusive editorial). But unfortunately for our brave deployed soldiers, Airmen and Sailors 2010 will be full of uncertainty. It's a sad fact of war that there will be more pain and sorrow and ultimately the loss of life. Our Brave Service men and women don't ask you to feel sorry for them, but to support them, but more importantly remember their wounded and dead. 2009 was a tough year and I suspect it's only going to get tougher. One thing that I can say for certain is that Raider will be supporting our troops (wherever they may be) and I would ask that our readers do the same. We here at Raider are extremely proud of our brave young men and women out on the front line and would like to wish each and every one of you a Happy and SAFE New Year.Our prayers and thoughts are with you guys and especially your families. To all of our troops wherever they may be? Keep your head down and stay safe.

Volume 2, Issue 7 (In stock)November 2009 The digital age Who would have thought it? Seventeen months ago when we launched Raider, we were looking to establish a foothold on the Military publications market (that we achieved relatively easily), we then looked to support out troops, that again was done with minimum of effort (first came our circulation into Iraq, Afghanistan, and the Marine Decompression Centre) ﾖ which in turn gave us the highest penetration of any publisher into theatre, now we are pulling out all the stops to offer a state of the art version of Raider. It's not a simple down loadable pdf file (but you do have that option), it's a stunning digitalised version of Raider that not only allows you to zoom in but flick the pages. The technology is there to allow us to have direct hyper links off our advertisers pages straight to their web site and also the ability to replace all of the images with streaming video clips (that's going to come on line a bit later). But for now point your browser at www.raider-mag.com kick back and take a look at the sample on-line. What makes this appealing is that the digital subscriptions price will be a fraction of our paper price and we all know that that's one of the cheapest out there. The downside is no free gifts just the cheaper digital version. Informed readers are happy readers that will buy with confidence. You can trust Raider, British troops do.

Volume 2, Issue 6 (In stock)October 2009 Upwards and Onwards Raider has pretty much found its own niche within the military market and continues to set standards, not only in design and exclusive content, but perhaps more importantly distribution and availability and that's all thanks to you ﾖ Our readers. So to celebrate Raiders continued success we've increased the issue size and launched yet another new section called "Gallery". It's all about you guys, it's about ordinary people performing extraordinary jobs so if you have a picture (whether it be On patrol, in the back of a chopper, sitting about a fob, having a laugh or simply chilling then we'd love to see it, what's more if your picture is published in the gallery section we'll send you out a little something to say thanks- so turn to page 8 and 9 and see if you can spot yourself. You'll also notice a major influx of advertisers into this issue- why? That's simple because Raider gets the job done; we deliver our publication to a hungry audience. Informed readers are happy readers that will buy with confidence. You can trust Raider, British troops do. To all of our troops wherever they may be? Keep your head down and stay safe.

Volume 2, Issue 5 (In stock)September 2009 Lets all take a momentRecently we have received quite a few emails from readers asking us "if the war in Afghanistan is worth it?" I guess the mails are a knee jerk reaction to the high amount of fatalities in the month of July; it's certainly a political hot potato. Are we pro war? Anyone that is would be mad, but we here at Raider are extremely proud off and pro our Armed forces and the hard and evidentially dangerous work they are doing. One of the emails pointed out (all be it miss guided) that Raider is making money off the war because of our distribution into theatre. That is the furthest thing from the truth; yes we have the highest penetration of any publisher into Afghanistan, but it's all FREE, we are here to support our troops and supply them with an informative publication and an insight on gear that no other military publisher does. This month British soldiers have certainly been taking a pounding, with 19 to date of our brave boys paying the ultimate sacrifice. Since the conflict started too many of our troops and MOD civilians have died while serving in Afghanistan but let us not forget why they are there. Let's all take a moment and remember these brave individuals and their ultimate sacrifice. To all of our troops wherever they may be? Keep your head down and stay safe

Volume 2, Issue 4 (In stock)August 2009 What's it all about? Recently I've been asked "what's with the price drop on Raider subscriptions?" It would be easy to reply "because we can" but in truth it's all in our master plan, we've moved to a new magazine distribution company and invested a huge amount into in-store promotions (throughout the world), we've listened to you our rapidly expanding readership, changed a few things and are now entering our new phase of growth. It's never been about making a fast buck, but about providing a service. We've achieved a small part of that by having the largest penetration in Iraq and Afghanistan of any publisher (Source PJHQ) and now we want to become the biggest selling Independent publication out there. And you know what; with the support that you guys are giving us it won't be too long before we have achieved that. By achieving this it means that we are doing our jobs properly. Hopefully it won't be too long before we have an all singing all dancing virtual edition of Raider out there so it will be even easier to get your favourite military magazine. The futures bright, the future is Raider.To all of our troops wherever they may be? Keep your head down and stay safe.

Volume 2, Issue 3 (In stock)July 2009 Listening to you As we roll out the response for the reader's survey, it's become clear to us that you guys want more Unit Profiles; On Patrol features and much more Tried and Tested, so here's what we have done. First off, we have increased our extremely popular Tried and Tested section to three pages this issue, we've dropped the Company Profile section and replaced it with an amazing insight into the US Special Forces community. As I write this foreword I'm sitting in the Officers' Mess of 16 Air Assault as an invited member of the press to follow the Potential Young officers of the Parachute Regiment. This exclusive series of articles will build into a definitive guide to show you our readers what it takes to become an officer in the Parachute Regiment. Raider will be following the chosen few over the next year through the entire process, visiting Sandhurst, P Company, Platoon Commanders Course and eventually deploying with a newly qualified Parachute Regiment young officer. Raider has been working closely with the Defence Imagery team (with the correct guidance and following the correct procedures) to insure that we have an ample supply of photography (under the news of offsetting rule) to promote the British Armed Forces no matter where they are in the world. The futures bright, the future is Raider.To all of our troops wherever they may be? Keep your head down and stay safe.
