The theme is then fleshed out by articles on warriors, battles and generals that fit that issue's theme. Among the authors are well-known specialists like Bob Bennett, Duncan B. Campbell, Ross Cowan, Lukas de Blois, Stephen English, Adrian Murdoch, Joseph Pietrykowski, Jona Lendering, and Mike Roberts.
The magazine also includes news and letters from readers, as well as reviews of relevant books, games, models, and museums.

Online free features of the magazine include the editor's blog and a podcast which is published to coincide with the magazine themes.
