OMMS - On Map Military Strategy

"It's a boardgame with a difference. The board is an everyday map.
The counters are coins. The cards are standard playing cards.
It's a game that you already own! You just didn't realise!"

note that the OMMS homepage at
http://www.omms.weloveperry.com/index.shtml contains no links to the
other 5 pages on the site, so bookmark one of the others above.

At last, a productive use for old maps that doesn't involve scissors,
felt-tips or glue, and a great homemade gift idea for teenage boys
this Christmas!
