I knew there would be something in Edition Zero!! And that sounds about right . I'm currently reading a book called The Jungle is Neutral, the biog of a British soldier 'staying behind' the Japanese invasion of Malaya. Some of the men trecked for 12 days through the jungle, it was a shock to them, and almost killed them. THeir rations were destroyed by daily rainstorms, they were lost, without landmarks, the heat drained their energy, thorns, leeches, night-time insects and slogging with machetes through almost impenetrable jungle brought them to an almost total stop. Drenched, freezing at night, so cold with shivers they could not sleep. Just 12 days. One man had to take his belt in 8 notches.

All 3 men were unrecognisable after those 2 weeks.

I want rules for that!!!! I'm sure the BRP rules will suffice, but I don't have them yet.
