It was the sight of Stadden Prussian Grenadiers, painted as the Erbprinz, that must have woken Purps up.

I'm a bit worried by Master Purps' 'splurt'.

He splurted a lot on my thread.

Is it a good thing?

Leaving aside the usual suspects listed above, of which I have a far smattering; Gavin Lyall's Operation Warboard would be on my list.

Maybe one of the Usborne Battlegame books which each came with four different games and sets of rules and counters. Either WW2 or Medievals I would think for me.
