When I was eleven I probably had! HoweverI have spent decades attempting to kill off as many brain cells as possible and the ones holding WRG data seem to have got the chop :)

We played so much that we even knew the CPF chart for 7th Ed off by heart. I can still remember most of it.

Might have, certainly used to. Let me check the East Wing’s lower basement. I may be a day.

Edit> nope, looks like I sold it. Sorry.
Did find some DBM stuff, now going up on the sales thread :evilgrin:

Pffff....7th Edition was like a sojourn in the South of France after the plague and mosquito infested jungle that was 6th.

Thanks for looking it's mainly a nostalgia thing to rebuild the armies and rules I started out with in 1981/2!
DBM I still have 2 editions of the rules and all the lists. We played it to death in the '90's and I really enjoyed it.

If it was something you'd be prepared to let go, let me know :)

DBM and DBA were great, I’d still play them at the drop of a hat.

Not my period, but I believe one per stick is the accepted norm*.

(* Worth bearing in mind that the principal accepted Norm on this website, kills celebrities in his spare time, experiments on primates, and offers blood sacrifices to the north-eastern deity Wye Aye Mun.......)

:eb:
I'm going for 1000 initially since that is a small game-able force. Will probably end up in the 1500-2000 area
