Wargames
through the Ages was first published to fill a gap in literature of the
hobby of wargaming. It was a one volume summary of ancient and medieval
warfare. After many
years of research and writing on the subject of wargaming, Donald
Featherstone provided, under one cover, all the information that a
wargamer required to build up armies in the ancient and medieval period.
Each period of warfare was considered and details given of the soldiers
themselves, their dress, arms and equipment, leaders, tactics and their
style of fighting. The major
wars and battles were listed, so that further information could be
obtained by reading other accounts of these conflicts and the
biographies of those leaders. Each section
details techniques and style of fighting of the various nations and
armies and other suggestions how they could best be simulated on the
table-top battlefield. Superb
drawings of the soldiers in their various battle uniforms add much to
the attractiveness of this book.
