N&SS came from the James Bond,s movies of the 60s.
How do you set up a Spies game in the 40s or Earlier?

In the 40's you have the
Office of Strategic Services leading to the establishment of the
C.I.A. in 1947. Earlier than that you could do
MI-6 for England or maybe
MI-8 for America. There's always the
"Great Game" period.

1587 - Christopher Marlowe - Secret messages in invisible ink, assassins with stiletto knives, secret compartments in clothing, staves, and false-bottom bags, all in service to queen and country. The Three Musketeers meets William Shakespeare.
1863 - John Singleton Mosby and his Raiders- Right on the cusp of the modern world and yet so far from it! Special Operations galore!
1963 - Any CIA Agent in Europe - The Minox camera, diebold copier, microdots, dead-letter drops and brush contacts, chemically treated handkerchiefs and desk sponges, this was the meat and potatoes days of espionage!
