Published by Headway Home & Law, the firm which inherited Robert Maxwell's consumer magazine group after his death, it survived for six issues from June to November 1992. CPC Attack! probably assumed it would pick up all the previous ACU readers and has an interesting [http://cpcwiki.eu/index.php/File:CPC_Attack_welcome_message.jpg little welcome message for everyone] possibly firing a few shots across the bow of the only competitor - [[Amstrad Action]].
== History ==
However, this plan was dropped prior to launch, and CPC Attack! (as it became) was released as a much more traditional CPC magazine. Only a series of articles assessing individual consoles survived from the original blueprint.
Six monthly issues were produced before editor Pat Kelly decided to move on, and the magazine was closed. This left [[Amstrad Action]] as the sole English CPC Magazine available at the news stand.
