Description:
Wargaming as a hobby rather than a method of instructing army officers has seen a phenomenal surge in popularity over recent years and a corresponding growth in sophistication and complexity. Beginning with an introduction that explains the origins and basic principles of wargaming, the book is divided into chapters each of which outlines the warfare, weapons and tactics of a different historical period. The Ancient and Medieval periods, the 16th and 17th century pike and shot period, the 18th century and Napoleonic periods, the Crimean, American Civil and Franco-Prussian wars, the colonial period and the Second and First World Wars are all covered.
