First Battle American Army Divisional Level Wargaming in the Cold War (1979)
ISBN: 9781326264567 / Angielski / Miękka / 2015 / 81 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) The FIRST BATTLE simulation system was designed to exercise American divisional commanders and staffs in the control and coordination of combined arms operations. The game was played using 1:50000 maps using simple counters. Movement and firing were measured using the 1 km grid squares that were already printed on the maps. The FIRST BATTLE rules are well written, with examples; so it is quite feasible for a dedicated hobby wargamer to recreate a game from the Cold War using these rules. All one needs is a standard 1:50000 or 1:25000 map, some counters, two ORBATS and a simple scenario....

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Prior to Donald Featherstone publishing his classic book War Games in 1962, there were numerous attempts, by other authors, to create realistic wargames.

Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 13-18 dni roboczych (Dostawa przed świętami) Wargames through the Ages was first published to fill a gap in literature of the hobby of wargaming.

In discussing how this can best be simulated on a table-top battlefield the author gives comprehensive information as to contemporary styles of warfare which provides a basis for the formulation of rules. Thus, the role of the book is to...

Joseph Morschauser's How to Play War Games in Miniature A forgotten wargaming pioneer Early Wargames Vol 3

In many ways, the book was ahead of its time with concepts such as a single base for a unit, gridded movement, speed of play and original combat system. It was very different from the development of the H.G. Wells rules by Donald Featherstone and others. This edition includes: The original book How to Play War Games in Miniature Rules for ancient, musket and the 'modern period' Additional articles by Morschauser An...
