As I continue to work my way through some of the boxes I’ve been dragging around for decades, I find the occasion gem. While the below rules are no where near a gem, what is a gem is what I found inside them. Tucked away on some 5 x 7 index cards, were the ramblings of a college student outlining his plan for a modern day (at least at the time) ImagiNation, set somewhere on the West Coast of Africa.
I had completely forgotten about ever doing this, but reading the notes brought a smile to my face. I may just dust this off and take a ‘formal’ go at it. Will see. But as a teaser below are the nation names), and we have: Wilhelmsland (the good pro West guys), Gardenstan (pro East guys), and Rubbishlandia (evil Soviet lackey).
And speaking of Rubbish, as I recall, that’s what the below rules were. But they served as a good protective cover for the early 1980’s ramblings of my first ImagiNation exercise. Maybe it will finally come to fruition 40 years later… maybe.
So much lead, so little time.
That's a great discovery, and it deserves to have new life breathed into it! :-)
ReplyDeleteWe’ll see. The last thing I need right now is a new project. I’m supposed to be reducing the lead pile. But, I have had an urge to do some modernish Cold War error stuff.
DeleteBarry, do yourself a favor, bury the rules and get a copy of 1wt edition AK 47 rules. Then set the countries up and enjoy!
DeleteBesides I have the new project covered.
I think I may give Fist Full of Tows 3, a try. (assuming I move forward with this). I have had the rules sitting around for several years, and they will accommodate the wide range of equipment I have in mind.
