Am still in shock at the recent passing of an old old friend Derek Hodge whom I knew from his teenage days. He had many many friends and contacts in wargaming terms so will be a hard act to follow.
I most remember him for his blogs detailing his approach to gaming modern wars in Africa and in particular AK47 Republic produced by the Rules For the Common Man (RFCM) dated 1997.

The above links give you a strong flavour of the enterprise adopted by Derek and his gang who by all accounts 'had a hoot' and I hope to generate a similar dose of fun and malarkey in due course.

ReplyDeleteSuch a shock after speaking to him just a few days earlier.
