Sandhurst Wargames

Whenever we are on holiday we take every opportunity to get some book shopping done. Now and again a real bargain comes along and often in unexpected places. Today in Whitby I popped into a charity shop to retrieve my wife (she loves looking for cookbooks in these shops) and found one such bargain staring at me across the store.

A Book of Sandhurst Wargames by the late Paddy Griffith was a completely unexpected find and a real bargain. The book starts with a history of wargaming that most gamers would find fascinating to read.

The rest of the book contains four sets of rules covering four periods of history. Each game is detailed with history and background and lots of useful illustrations. Unfortunately this copy is missing the game boards and tokens for play but its still and interesting read none-the-less.
