WRG rules 1685 - 1845

[Jeremy]

I’m looking for a copy of these, more out of nostalgia than anything else. They were the first set of rules I played when I started wargaming.



If anyone has a set they’re not using and willing to let go for a reasonable price, let me know

I'll let you have mine at ayton gratis . I've never used them !

[Jeremy]

Cheers Simon! I’m slowly collecting all the rules of my youth for nostalgia purposes.

np - i'll retrieve it from the loft this weekend

[Jeremy]

Thanks, I owe you a beer or two in return!

If anyone else is looking for a copy of these, I have one going spare, too. Bought them because I thought they'd be on a par with the Gush/Renaissance set, but they weren't.

Yeah, maybe it’s the rose tinted spectacles of memory, but I seem to remember having cracking games using them and my 1/72nd Airfix and Esci Brits, most of which were converted. They probably don’t hold up well to current sets, but I find as I get older, I derive great enjoyment from paging through the rules of my youth on a quiet evening, whilst the missus is watching whatever tripe is currently the fad on telly, and reminiscing about the good old days

In my yoof I used the earlier WRG 'Flinch Point' horse and musket rules. Marvellous, but so dated now.

Jeremy - I don't know that there's anything wrong with them; I've met lots of people who swear by them - and even a few who still use them. I think I was always a "Charge!" or "Sharp Practice" kind of guy at heart and this set just didn't give me the "look" of game I was....well, looking for - a big skirmish with a handful of large units per side.

They were awful! Absolutely awful!
