Second hand find .

Just been to the local hospital for my yearly eye check up and whilst waiting I had a rummage around in the WRVS book boxes - they run the refreshment kiosk and always have some second hand books for sale (mainly Barbara Cartland 'bodice rippers') and I came across this rather battered copy of  ' Operation Warboard' , I was aware of this book but have never had a copy before . It was originally published in 1976 and this one is the paper backed version from 1978 , it has been well thumbed and has that musty 'old book' smell , whoever owned it obviously used it for gaming as there are scribbled notes in pencil throughout the book which adds character to it . On the front cover it says 'Wargaming at it's best' - Wargamers Newsletter - a fine testimonial indeed , so I'm going to sit down with a cup of tea and biscuits and have a read - has anybody ever used it to play WW2 games ? . 

Featherstonian World Wars 2 Rules

                             I've been reading Donald Featherstones 'Tackle Model Soldiers This Way' which is about model soldiers and the painting ,casting and the research of them , but it does have three very basic sets of wargaming rules in it . The WW2 ones rather took my fancy so I've copied the rules down as a play sheet , VERY Old School in their starkness - but it does take me back to the days of plastic Airfix tanks and unpainted figures - I have some 1/72nd scale figures somewhere so I'm going to dig them out and give it a go !.
