COMMANDO!.

 More nostalgia for old Paul, I have owned these soldiers since I was about ten years old.

 I fancied a fast, not too serious game with them.

So I made up some very simple rules as I went along.

 And I wrote them up later, see below.

 Germans behind the hedgerow.

 Defending the workshop.

 A new box of 14 Airfix Russians.

The Russian box has a lot of sub machine guns!.
