Let's face it--and Neil Thomas does--few miniature wargamers have the time and table space for the games shown in magazines and put on at conventions, and those who do don't always. Work, family and school get in the way. So what sort of games CAN we play?This is where Thomas stands almost alone. He's scaled down miniature warfare to something which can be done on a card table in an hour or two. The book consists of a short introduction, discussions (with rules) of ten wargaming periods--say three pages of description and two pages of rules each--the mandatory and disposable asides on solo and campaign gaming, the usual "where to find more information" and what really makes the book worth owning--30 scenarios playable in any period discussed, with no more than six units a side randomly selected from a list of ten. A gamer starting with nothing could buy two armies, scratch-build the terrain and be ready to go for a cash investment of under $100.The pieces of the book are free-standing, if you will. The rules could be used with different scenarios, and the scenarios do not require the rules. There are no special basing requirements either way.Limitations. Scenarios are for land warfare only. These are not skirmish scenarios, so the book's not much use for the "Western Gunfight" crowd for instance. There are no "national distinctions" and colonial warfare seems to have slipped through the cracks. The operating (unvoiced) assumptions are that "tanks is tanks"--units of the same type are equivalent--and that six units of one side are a fair match for six units of the other side. This should not keep a wargamer from using these scenarios with rules which make provision for such differences, but he'll have to keep alert to keep it a fair game. In broad terms, few of the scenarios are original, and Thomas gives credit where due. The charm of the book is "bathtubbing" a Charles S. Grant scenario intended for 12 units a side and a 5x9 table down to something requiring 12 units total and a 3x3 table.Buy the book. Don't let it keep you from buying the classic Charles S. Grant scenario books, but I think this is the one you'll more often break out on a Sunday afternoon just before your opponent shows up.
Another excellent wargaming book by Neil Thomas. The war game rules/mechanisms are extremely simple here, which owes to the fact that Neil was certainly aiming to create an ultra-fast play system by tabletop wargaming standards. I think he succeeds in developing a solid standardized, easy to learn system that works across all historical periods. Personally, for the periods that I play (medieval and fantasy), I'm not so sure I would choose to play this over DBA or Hordes of the Things, which play in a similar amount of time. Still, I truly appreciate the different ideas here and the elegance of simplicity he has achieved.My favorite part of this book is the Scenarios section in the second-half. There's a treasure trove of ideas here. The book is well worth it just for this part alone.UPDATE (7/25/2017): My admiration of this book has grown over time. No war games book can be all things to all people. So despite these rules being far from my ideal "meatier" war games system, they perfectly achieve what they set out to do: give players SIMPLE rules that play FAST and work with LIMITED SPACE on the tabletop. The research that Neil has done here is evident to me and helpful, and the scenarios are absolutely great, and easy enough to modify up to 12 units and bigger tables if you prefer. I've never seriously contemplated going outside my favored genres of fantasy, dark ages, medieval, and renaissance, as the barrier to entry was too costly and time-consuming. But this book has piqued my interest in trying smaller games in other periods such as Pike & Shot, ACW, and World War II. That speaks volumes to me. As a result, I've bumped up my rating of this to a full 5 stars.HIGHLY Recommended and should be in every wargamer's library.
A simple, concise book to get started with wargaming. The author covers several periods of history and provides simple and workable rules to simulate warfare. The book is geared to smallish games on a three foot by three foot surface. The basing of the miniatures is not important, a unit is suggested to have a frontage of 4 to 6 inches. Armies are made up of 4 to 6 units. A unit is destroyed as a combat effective by the accumulation of 15 points. These points are assessed by simple dice rolls, the score being noted until a unit's "15" is reached. Each period has its own slight variations such as ammunition supply, etc. Half the book is scenarios, laying out battles to fight. There are two short chapters on solo games and campaigns. Gamers who crave tables and long mathematical formulae will hate the simple style of these games, but they are great for a newcomer or an old hand who is looking or a simple, fast and FUN game. Worth the price.
This little book is fun for both beginners and experienced gamers alike. f you have a 10-12 year old who has just taken an interest in historical table top gaming, press this book into their hands and it is sure to open up a world of lifetime learning. I have been gaming, doing historical research and writing rules since I was that age with fascination and I still enjoy reading this book. While I have more complex rule sets I prefer to play, I find myself turning to the 30 general scenario ideas offered in the back of the book each time I want to play a game in any time period. If you are a beginner, this is an excellent place to start for simple rule sets for any time period you want to play. Each chapter offers a brief, simplified survey of what makes warfare during the time period unique. The author also explains why, for historical reasons (what a great way to learn history for kids!), he has made the rules simplifications he has, and the provides a very simple set of fast play rules. In short this is in my opinion the single best book available on miniatures gaming for everyone.
