The current issue of Wargames Illustrated<\/em><\/a> magazine (Issue 333, July 2015), contains a four-page illustrated feature by Gary Mitchell which presents “some gaming ideas based upon a very British post-apocalypse world, complete with campaign and scenario ideas and character archetypes still to be found in similar works today.”<\/p>\n

Mitchell suggests that Survivors<\/em> “is gritty, realistic and bleak. It reflects technological meltdown, social collapse, nihilism and the prevailing pessimistic view of the future.” To explore the many gaming conflicts this scenario offers, Mitchell has designed “a campaign for a number of players. Although based upon the UK, Survivors<\/em> could easily be adapted for any post-apocalyptic situation”.<\/p>\n

The resulting game outline is not based on the characters or plotlines of Terry Nation’s original conception of Survivors<\/em>, but draws inspiration from its setting. Those familiar with the culture and practices of wargaming will be able to distill the gaming opportunities outlined by Mitchell. <\/p>\n
