This blog is considered by Google as an Animals and Men blog - in which case you might find a load of posts about tanks a bit strange but there is a precedence for it. Back in the late 70s when we were at the height of our productivity as a band World War 2 wargaming was kind of the band's unofficial hobby. Sue and I had a large flat with lots of rooms and so one room was put aside for just wargames battles and we had a large hardboard table. We used these simple rules by Charles Grant and the period we did was the Battle of France 1940. We also pursued other aspects like a band visit to the Bovington tank museum and the reading of corny comics like the War Picture Library. So pretty nerdy for a cutting edge punk band - making kits and fighting battles but that was how it was. You can make a list of what we should have been doing but this was quite high on the list of things we were doing at the time. We also used to have fights with plastic swords but that's another story...I quite fancy doing some WW2 wargaming again - I wonder if these rules are still available?
These rules (a PDF) - for the Russo-German aspect look good - they're based on the Charles Grant system (ie not hard on the old brain) and have all I need.
