My good lady rarely knows what to get me these days and said so as I was reading online that Charles S Grant had produced an updated form of The War Game. Logic soon followed and an order was placed via Ken Trotman Ltd on Tuesday of this week.
Lo and behold a brown envelope fell through the letterbox this morning (Friday) before I was even out of bed.
A ruleset with 40 years of playtesting, 50 odd pages of explanatory pictures and text, a couple of quick reference playsheets (3 pages each) and a 4 page Action guide.
What is there not to like about this and at £15 plus postage a bargain to boots!
Happy birthday to me!!
Happy B'day Jim! Hope you feel as young as you look.

Hi Jim,
ReplyDeleteMany happy returns old chap! That looks like a really good prezzie and no mistake - I shall need to add one to my own collection as well!
All the best,
DC
Thanks DC
DeleteOne thing I thought of doing was to chart the changes and additions from Charles Grant (Senior) The War Game Rules but Charles S Grant suggests, in his Introduction, that to do so would invite insanity so I'll not bother. I am mad enough already!
Jim
Many happy returns , just recieved my copy - looks good !.
ReplyDeleteThank you Sir!
DeleteThe hard part will be leaving the book alone until I get stateside. It is very tempting to peek inside and read a chapter.
Hope you enjoy reading yours!
