[TML] OT: Query regarding UK PBM game from the '80's

[Tom Cusworth]

Hello,

Please forgive the OT question, but I think that if there's anywhere that
can answer this question, then the TML might be the place...

In the mid-'80's (around 1985 or so) one of my secondary school teachers
played a Play-by-mail game. I'd like to run a version of it for a group of
friends via email. There's two problems I have, though... I can't remember
the name and do not have a copy of the rules...

So, if I describe the premise, then perhaps the collected wisdom of the TML
may be able to furnish me with the details I need.

Without further ado:

It was set in Britain after an apocalyptic event (not sure if this was
post-nuke or not). Civilisation has collapsed and infrastructure is
non-existent.

Each player is in control of a group of survivors, who each have a number of
skill sets (an engineer, a doctor, a chemist as well as a number of
"ordinary people"etc) and are in control of an area of the British isles (a
couple of square kilometers or so) where they have to build a community, and
resist the attempts of the other players to sabotage said efforts by means
of raiding, spying and such underhanded deeds.

I think each turn was either a week of game time or a month at the outside.
I also think the game (since it was PBM only at the time) was only run in
the UK.

Can anyone help me with either the name of the PBM or a link for the rules?

Thank you in advance,

-Tom
