Re: [DS] Hidden Units and Recon by Fire

WRG are the British Wargame Research Group. An old traditional wargame 
rules group associated with Phil Barker and mates. They have a cult fan 
base, who tend to be rather hostile to 'trivial' wargaming, with no
sense 
of humour. Their rules are cheaply produced and sold with 
endless  versions. They strike me as amateur, for good and ill. I have 
found their later rules sets not much fun but like the earlier ones
(1970s) 
People seem to either love them or hate them. It won't cost you much to
try 
them.
