Wargames Research Group

2nd Edition 1979

In Good Condition. No rips.

These rules ultimately stem from Wargames Research Group Ancient Rules, via a set developed by Dave Millward for the 1971 National Wargames Convention. Those who have used the previous edition will note that the present one is considerably longer. This results, firstly, from the incorporation of rules to cover sieges and attacks on fortifications, terrain, victory points, darkness, and other matters omitted in the earlier set; secondly, from additions to assist players using the rules for battles outside the original 1490 - 1660 period; and, thirdly, from the need for extra explanation and definition which arises when rules are to be used not only for friendly games among experienced players, but world-wide, by players of all kinds, and on occasion in competitive circumstances. Both previous users and beginners should note that the rules have not become more complex, previous basic mechanics being retained throughout, and that with a little experience the more complex, previous basic mechanisms being retained throughout, and that with a little experience the player will normally use the quick reference sheet, and will seldom need to consult the full rules, as before.
