Apologies if old news, but got this link from the BGG forums.  All of the old Generals are online for free download.

Figures. I purchased the entire collection on DVD in January. The $8 I paid is still a good deal considering the time it would require for me to download every issue.

The PDFs on my DVD are >100MB per issue!

There is a lot of excellent gaming material in those old magazines. Definitely a good deal.

I recall now that they actually came on two DVDs. I uploaded the entire library to Google drive and download an issue at a time to the pad.
