About The Comprehensive Guide to Board Wargaming

An overview of the field of board wargaming circa 1977. The chapters include: The Wargames Explosion, Basics of Wargaming, Strategy (chapters 3-5: The Forest and the Trees, Reserves and Build-Up, Political and Economic Affairs), Tactics (chapters 6-8: Defensive Terrain, Combined Arms, Waves and Skies) and Winning (chapters 9-10: The Short Cuts, The Broad Sweep). The final chapter is a four turn replay of SPI's Nordlingen. In addition, there is a 63 page section with capsule descriptions of over 275 wargames - a real blast from the past! There are four appendices: Answers to Problems (the book includes six wargame situations for the reader to analyze), Useful Addresses (no longer very useful due to their age) and PanzerBlitz and Panzer Leader: Game of Tactical Warfare on the Western Front free-choice selection unit values. 224 page hardbound book with dust jacket, black and white photographs. SPI's Strike Force One: The Cold War Heats Up – 1975 minigame is included as an insert inside the back cover. ISBNs 0213166461 (1977 hardback), 0722166672 (1980 paperback 2/ed)
