So it’s not just me who enjoys Wesencraft more. Having said that, I’m enjoying Solo-Wargaming more than other Featherstone books I’ve read.<br />It’s been a while since I read Morschauser.nundankethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895608927860103442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926379735288757900.post-18258147263272372572020-11-25T04:33:39.471+00:002020-11-25T04:33:39.471+00:00Yep.

The sheer volume of output from Featherstone plus everything else he found time for (his physio business, role at Southampton FC, Wargamers Newsletter) is amazing.nundankethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12895608927860103442noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926379735288757900.post-71680725556543604042020-11-24T12:51:08.919+00:002020-11-24T12:51:08.919+00:00Thanks for the book link.

Plenty of his books also simply include rules written by others, in the spirit of the time (sharing is good).<br />Although Featherstone's contributions to the popularization of wargaming are undisputed, when it comes down to actual wargaming rules and mechanics and ideas , I would put Grant and Bath before Featherstone.Phil Dutréhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13607941040736764291noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1926379735288757900.post-73822881195615682332020-11-24T09:51:56.533+00:002020-11-24T09:51:56.533+00:00I'm a confirmed Fetherstone'ite but I woul...I'm a confirmed Fetherstone'ite but I would agree the AWI book is a little "light"... the Solo Wargaming book however, is an absolute 'must have'.. I have a signed and dedicated first edition hardback that I bought with my hard earned pocket money back in the day.. I wouldn't part with it.. I may ask for it to go in the casket along with Wargames! LOL..

Did you fathom out the saving throw chart in the end? I always liked the Almark book on the awi uniforms with lots of colour pictures and great line drawings. It is still on the shelf albeit falling apart. Worth tracking down I would say.tradgardmastarehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13116967655904601740noreply@blogger.com
