Donald Featherstone's War Games (1962)
Revised edition (2008)
edited by John Curry
(156 pages, ISBN 978-1-4092-1676-6)
The success of Donald Featherstone's first wargaming book was responsible for launching the modern hobby of warganming into the civilian market. It contained an introduction to the hobby, how to set up a wargames campaign and three sets of rules.
The book contained three sets of classic wargaming rules.
Tony Bath's Ancient Wargaming Rules
Donald Featerstones' own American Civil War rules
Lionel Tarr's World War II Rules.
This revised edition includes:
A foreword by Paddy Griffith
The full Lionel Tarr Wargaming rules
A timeline of wargaming
This book is the first of a series of classic wargaming books.
I was delighted to be asked to produce a revised edition of this book as part of the History of Wargaming Project to bring it to a new audience.
