Shiver Your Mainbrace - LAW going Nautical

[Essex Boy]

I used to play WS&IM about thirty years ago.
It is very much meant for one ir two ships a player or it gets 'unweildy' (Although it may be the mists of time or impatience of youth that makes me think that?)
I think AH or maybe someone else later published a hexless version for miniatures but I never played that as my interests had moved on.
I love the idea of making players wave signal flags to each other

You were a youth thirty years ago?

Some members were born after the 50s Iain, and don't even remember rationing.

I was born five years and six days after rationing ended in the UK.

Inter-war period?

Marvelously non specific given the different timescales involved
Earliest I can think of is bread in 1948 and the latest one I know is coal in June 1958 were there any later?
If not EB has aged rather well!

Inter-war period?

Siege of Troy ?

[Jeremy]

Simon, don’t be so rude to Iain. It was clearly the Viking siege of Paris

[Paul]

June '54 was the end of food rationing.....coal rationing went on for another 4 years whilst the country built up large reserves. Ending, ironically, on midsummers day I think?
