Small Wars New Perspectives on Wargaming Counter Insurgency on the Tabletop John Curry

The author has been a wargamer since the 1970s, member of Wargame Developments and a serious rule writer since the early 1990s. His long standing interest in asymmetric warfare led him to develop a series of wargames to reflect the individual characteristics of such conflicts. All except one of these sets of rules are written to portray the operational/ campaign level situation. Using card based systems, these games are particularly suitable for the solo wargamer. These games are not 'fair'; they each aim to give the wargamer a greater understanding of the particular conflicts they represent. The games include: Boots on the Ground: Company Level Actions in the early 21st. Century An Isolated Outpost: Six Months in the Sahara Eight Years in a Distant Country: Soviet involvement in Afghanistan Ovambo: Counter- insurgency in South West Africa Flying Column: The Irish Troubles 1920-21 Good Morning Vietnam: LBJ's War 1965-68
