Map Frontsheet Rules book Worse than SPI 6.06% 18.18% 6.06% Level with SPI 75.76% 75.76% 87.88% Better than SPI 18.18% 6.06% 6.06% 96.88% said that the physical quality would encourage them to buy UK produced games again. It is interesting and not too surprising to note that the Rules Book and Frontsheet, both of which were taken from our Wigan printer and given to the Stockport printer who already produces the Maps, got the least positive reception. l do not think that the figures above are anything to be ashamed of, however we will continue to strive for improvement. 48.91% of those who returned the Phoenix 7 Feedback also sent in that from Phoenix 6. 81.07% said they would subscribe to Phoenix 24.62% purely on merit and 67.48% on both merit and desire to support a UK magazine.
