Featherstone’s Battles with Model Soldiers was a charming
introductory book when published in 1979 for the emerging hobby of
wargaming. This book was written for the newcomer to the hobby
of wargaming. It discusses how armies can be assembled and how, on any
reasonably sized table, realistic engagements can be fought by tactical
manoeuvring. The basic rules by which forces are moved and casualties
assessed are explained. The book then goes onto to give a brief overview
of the different wargaming periods.The book includes some simple rules
and a detailed description of an American Civil War battle on the table
top. The book was well received when first published and still has a
charm that will appeal to the modern wargamer. The second edition of
this book is published by the History of Wargaming Project. |
