Jack Scruby’s War Game Digest, Fall 1971, Book 7, Vol. 1 Reviewed by Rich Barbuto

While clearing old files, I’ve come across a few publications by wargaming father Jack Scruby. Jack

started War Game Digest in 1957 and it ran 6 years. Then, the venerable newsletter went on hiatus until

this issue, published in 1971. Jack tells the story inside, and in doing so, tells us a lot about the early

days of our hobby. This issue ran 41 black and white pages on glossy paper. One of the articles was a

complete rule set for Thirty Years War, which is included here. I think you will enjoy these pages; they

brought back memories for me.
