Posted an account of an attempt to refight the first day of the Battle of Ourcq in September 1914, between the Germans & the French on my blog.

Yes, a 1914 game without the BEF.

Terrific looking game and excellent report. Could you give me a pointer as to where to find the rules? Also, did you make the card tiles, or can they be bought?

I found this

OP14 wargame rules

As a result of my recent battle report about the re-fight of the Battle of Ivangorod, I have received several requests for further information about Richard Brooks' OP14 wargame rules.

I have been through the back issues of THE NUGGET and found a copy of the rules in N236. If a blog reader wishes to read and/or print a copy of this particular issue, they will need the relevant password ... which in this case is:

Fenton has a good link- they are in that edition of Nugget. I thought they were elsewhere, but can't find the link at the moment. I'm in contact with the author. I'll ask him if he doesn't mind me putting them up in the rules sec tion of my blog.

The tiles are from a game called "Play 5" which is a game that combines poker and scrabble. These are both games I wouldn't play, but when the sets were remaindered it was hard to resist the bits that come in the box. 

You can get playing card tiles from other sources, i'm told. I nearly bought a lovely set the size of dominoes when I was in Vietnam. Wish I had now.

Got permission from Richard Brooks top ost a pdf of the rules in the downloads section of the blog.
