The book was written in 1974 with the aim of providing the reader with easily playable sets of rules that were more realistic than Featherstone's early rules. Most of rules involve the use of stands to represent units rather than individual figures.

It aimed to do this by providing a set of core rules, with each chapter then modifiying the basic rules to reflect the historical realities of the period. It is interesting to note that the concept of 'standard rules' with period modifiers has since become fashionable in modern wargaming.

The book contains rules for

Ancients

Medieval

Pike and Musket

Eighteenth-century

Napoleonic

American Civil War

Franco-Prussian War
