This poor quality, black and white, reproduction of these rules was produced by On Military Matters in 2002 in response to a continuing demand for the rules system. It is a page by page reproduction of the original rules but parts of some of the photographs of wargames figures are hardly discernible. However the scenarios with maps and army lists are still well worth having.
