Further Forgotten Sons- Infantry Action 1925 - 1975 or do you know David Snowden

 Mark of MofT’s recent post and my one of the other day reminded me of my favourite rules from my early teens-

Here they are by the Wargames Research Group. I really enjoyed my solo games with these. 

In the mid eighties l recall wanting to try them again but had misplaced my copy, possibly a grubby photocopy. I wrote to Duncan Macfarlane in his capacity as magazine editor trying to find a copy and one day this letter turned up from David Snowden of Harlow , Essex. Please read for yourself below-

In his kindness he sent a photocopied set of the rules in a binder with two or three playsheets. It was such a kind and generous thing to do.

I always wondered what happened to him and is he still gaming . Anyone know?

Annotated rules for melee. 

Firstly does anyone know David Snowden? Secondly the rules can be downloaded from here-

Interestingly they suggest you can play with 54mm 1/32 figures on a normal sized wargaming table
