Softcover. Condición: Near Fine. Estado de la sobrecubierta: N/A. 158pp, some in-text colour illustrations. Pictorial laminated light card covers. 8vo. Light wear to covers. Text block edges just starting to tan; just affecting page margins. Otherwise, internally neat, clean, bright and tight. This copy from the library of the late George R P Gush. Gush was head of history at West Kent College but is perhaps better remembered as a key contributor to the development of early wargaming, and as an active wargamer especially in Renaissance wargames. His Renaissance Armies (1975) has become a classic work on the topic. He founded the Tunbridge Wells Wargames Society in the late 1960s, remaining its chairman until 2007. A regular contributor to various wargaming and modelling magazines, he authored with Andrew Finch A Guide to Wargaming (1980) and the well-regarded Wargames Rules for Fifteenth to Seventeenth Centuries.
