Books by John (Formerly of Sheffield Hallam University

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. CenturyAn Isolated Outpost: Six Months in the SaharaEight Years in a Distant Country: Soviet involvement in AfghanistanOvambo: Counter- insurgency in South West AfricaFlying Column: The Irish Troubles 1920-21Good Morning Vietnam: LBJ's War 1965-68
