One of two games played at this months meeting of the DWG was a tribute game to the late, great Sir Roger Moore recreating his role in one of the great series of British action movies produced in the late 70's, 'The Wild Geese'.

Excellent! Caught the mood of the original rather well I think. Which rules were you using?

David,

The rules we used were "Winter of '79 – Wild Geese".

They are the "African" version of the Winter of '79 rules (the rules are the same but the scenarios differ)
