I’ve always been interested in them, so a look at some of the resources and some suggestions for those outside the classical 18th century period

I do like the old books, mainly to compare how far (or not) modern rules have become. I love trying to get the old Table Top Games rules just for the nostalgia. Some where very percentage chart heavy.
Enjoy the read.

yes it was a phase the hobby went through. Have you read Donald Featherstone? He wrote a lot and his books are worth re-reading every so often because he had a lot of good ideas about stuff we still try to get right 🙂

Hi Jim, I really enjoyed your article and found it inspiring. I also had the John Tunstill and Tony Bath books (sadly the Tunstill book has long-since disintegrated – the spines on those Shire books weren’t in it for the long haul) but I wasn’t familiar with Bill Lamming’s Medieval Campaign and Battle Rules.  However, I have tracked down a copy and it is winging its way to me.

I regularly revisit my old wargames books and rules, it’s a nostalgic thing.  Plus they are well written and a good read.

It has to be said that Shire were let down on their bindings, which is why I was so pleased to have a second chance 🙂

Yes I find the enthusiasm can reinfect me 🙂
