hi guys,

I used to play Tractics WWII in 72/76th scale but never had the complete set. My copies are really old and tattered. I was hoping someone could tell me if they are available in PDF for download and where ? desparate to get them again.

Any help would be great.

Regards
Shane

Shane, AFAIK, TSR (or, more properly, G&K Enterprises) never actually printed Tractics, just stuck their logo on the copies they got from Lowry when they bought him out. As to whether or no there is aPDF (or other electronic) version, I can't say.

My copy of Tractics show "Published by Tactical Studies Rules" printed on the cover. They list Mike Reese & Leon Tucker with Gary Gygax as authors with Don as having illustrated the works. Also each of the three books say the same as well as having folks write TSR with questions. They may have put stickers on what they originally got but they did publish their own copies as well.

I have a copy that is in pretty good condition. INcludes all of the books in the set. If you're interested I might be convinced to let you have them for the cost of shipping. They are just gathering dust here.

Take the kind offer above, as they can be quite expensive when offered on eBay.

Both Tractics (an updated edition) and the Fast Rules are available print-on-demand from Lulu. For PDF, there's Wargame Vault.
