About This Item
Patrick Stephens Ltd., October 1974. Hardcover. Very Good. VERY GOOD+ 1st Edition (October 1974) No marks or writing observed in text. Binding tight and square. Gently read. No dust jacket as issued. . . . . TABLE OF CONTENTS: 1.) First things first -- 2.) Napoleonic army organization -- 3.) Into battle! -- 4.) Napoleonic strategy and tactics -- 5.) Organizing a wargames campaign -- 6.) Playing rules -- 7.) Miscellaneous. . . . . . . I first had this book in the seventies. I lost my copy during numerous moves since then. It is every bit as useful as I remembered it to be. For me it provided a great revision tutorial since I had not wargamed in this period of history since the eighties. I am sure it would still provide the same excellent introduction to wargaming and in particular wargaming in this era for the newcomer and a useful reference for the experienced. It is far removed from the electronic version of wargame simulations that are available today and hopefully could tempt the newcomer into the delights of 'real' wargaming with your own figures. Choosing your own army (Austrians for me), painting, organizing and controlling your troops in battle, or for the more adventurous over a campaign. The rules which are included are, as the author states, not everyone's cup of tea although I do like them. I particularly like the attempt to differentiate between troops from different armies in both temperament and ability. Overall it is exactly what a beginner needs and a fine set of rules for all. The only downside is the scarcity of copies makes it a bit on the expensive side. -- John H. Family-owned bookshop in Steubenville, Ohio: BookMarx Bookstore. Books shipped within 24 hours.
