Donald Featherstone said, ‘there have been few wargaming books written
as well as Operation Warboard. Gavin Lyall applied his established
writing talents to create a wargaming book that in places seemed more
like a thriller than a book about a marvelous and engaging hobby'. The
book was written for wargaming World War II battles in 20-25mm, with
rules that were straightforward, fast and comprehensive. The book also
had the innovation of including extensive notes about the thinking
behind the rules. The player’s notes discussed the abstractions and
generalisations that informed the design decisions, most of which are
still issues that rule-writers for this period still contend with. This
reprint of the 1976 classic includes a new foreword by Bernard Lyall and
new optional rules. The book is available from Amazon and other online retailers. |
