All the artwork in it are painting for the book. The contents are: The history of wargaming; The basic wargame; Advanced wargames; The Napoleonic Wars; The American Civil War; The Second World War. I would try to scan some of the pictures, but I don't think the binding would hold up. The basic war-game chapter doesn't give rules, but explains such things as scale,movement and so forth.jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-2241954134277370532017-01-19T10:11:04.989-08:002017-01-19T10:11:04.989-08:00The David Nash book is new to me, I think!?

If I had been shown the cover minus the title I would have said John Sandars, a book that again was frequently borrowed from the library and although enjoyed, never I think understood. The western desert vehicles and figure I suppose. What is the Nash book like ? My collection has many of the same titles as you but some I have bought in much more recent editions. The Dust jackets on your books are lovely. Envy is a hateful emotion but I am unfortunately very envious of the Morschauser.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04878782120365298424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-22619272363061006482017-01-18T02:59:44.137-08:002017-01-18T02:59:44.137-08:00I especially like the earliest books; the authors ...I especially like the earliest books; the authors seemed to be talking to you personally and their passion for the games inspired you to get more involved with the hobby.jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-4737286637437215502017-01-18T02:44:08.784-08:002017-01-18T02:44:08.784-08:00When I bought "A First Book of Wargaming"...When I bought "A First Book of Wargaming" and later "The Second Book of Wargaming", I had the plans of fighting wargames in my back yard (wouldn't want anyone to seeing me playing with toy soldiers in the front yard!) just like when I was a kid. That's one reason I started buying South Africa Engineers 30mm figures. However owning a dog would make such games difficult.jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-44872526038809543122017-01-18T02:39:22.820-08:002017-01-18T02:39:22.820-08:00I have at least three of the Bell0na "Battle ...I have at least three of the Bell0na "Battle for Wargamers" series. I also have The 2nd Punic War, which I actually was looking at on Sunday and left it on the coffee table, and the American Civil War one. Paul Hagues' Sea Battles in Miniature I bought before wargaming became my hobby. Before wargaming I was into model boats and found that book in a used book store.jhnptrqnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11011208263053721255noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-64226506288994507712017-01-18T02:27:35.595-08:002017-01-18T02:27:35.595-08:00Luckily when I first got into wargaming most of th...Luckily when I first got into wargaming most of the websites I went to were from the UK.

I think I have all of Terry Wise's Bellona 'Battles for wargamers' series (I think there were 5 titles). Of the 3 Naval wargames titles pictured, I have not one, but I've read them all at one time or another. My favourite was the Paul Hague one...<br />Archduke Piccolohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15533325665451889661noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6135416429133257747.post-75758317144015844112017-01-17T13:56:20.083-08:002017-01-17T13:56:20.083-08:00The Second Book of waargaming.

Featuring chemical warfare and hilarious photographs, firing squads - check, Interrogations with no doubt painful endings and the dictators bathroom.
