This was a seminal purchase for me from a secondhand bookshop in Salisbury more years ago than I care to remember. It is a treasured possession and I've since bought reprints to minimise the wear and tear of gaming usage. It was 'spirit' of the gaming that the book encapsulates so wonderfully that fired me up to go Old School and do my own Spencer Smith armies. Their first foray, a Blasthof refight, is posted on the Spencer Smith site. My armies are much larger now and I refought Blasthof again back in April this year and still enjoyed it immensely - I think it was the first time I've actually won that one! The SSM choice was also reinforced by all the pictures in Charles Grant's The Wargame which I borrowed almost permanently from the library in my schoolboy days.Robnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7174146262920547660.post-7671723419665484472019-10-29T23:41:59.341+11:002019-10-29T23:41:59.341+11:00An excellent choice of rules.
