Reply To: 'Battle' Practical Wargaming by Charles Grant

I think I started with one of those Discover books,  ‘Discovering Wargames’, IIRC, didn’t have any proper rules in it sadly.  Then I think there was another book from the Discover range that had wargames rules without dice.

Featherstone followed, then Napoleonic rules by ‘London Wargames Section’ (anybody remember them?).  Moving hundreds of unbased and unpainted plastic Airfix figures around wouldn’t appeal to me now 🙂

Late 70’s and 80’s was WRG 1950-1975 and Warsaw Pact and NATO.  The latter helped a lot when I joined the army as, funnily enough, I passed out top in training in Soviet Bloc vehicle recognition and organisation 🙂  All those hours as a teenager ‘swatting up’ of vehicle stats etc. weren’t an entire waste of time.
