I used a modified version of Donnybrook for the game. See all of the action at the Quindia Studios (http://quindiastudios.blogspot.com/) blog...

It was a refight of a game originally presented in The Strategic Review #5 in 1975 and later reprinted in The Best of the Dragon Vol I (where more people probably saw it - SR is hardcore grognard territory). It was one of the first wargames I ever encountered and I have wanted to put it on the table ever since...

Long gone now during the Great Purge leading to the divorce, but fond memories of the magazine and being a kid nonetheless. Very few fond memories of the troll I was held captive by for 25 years and cost me 3000 gold coins to get rid of.
