I hope that you enjoy reading them ...Will Scarvie,<br /><br />I hope that you enjoy reading them as much as you enjoy reading your other two new books.<br /><br />Like you, I used to borrow Featherstone's books from the library for as long as I could get away with it, but in the end - when I could afford it - I bought my own copies.<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-4037467322763673922013-06-23T06:20:24.758+01:002013-06-23T06:20:24.758+01:00My thanks in advance, Bob!

I look forward to reading them very much :-)<br /><br />Meanwhile, I'm been reading my other gift to myself: copies of Wargames and Advanced Wargames by Featherstone, from the Curry editions. I used to check the originals out of the library back in college. Nice to have my old friends back.Will Scarviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927162285224441677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-84774287188143015172013-06-22T08:47:21.338+01:002013-06-22T08:47:21.338+01:00Will Scarvie,
I am sure that you will enjoy readi...Will Scarvie,<br /><br />I am sure that you will enjoy reading the original book as much as I did, and that it will occupy a place of honour on your bookshelves.<br /><br />You have discovered - as I did - that the original book did not contain the gridded wargames rules, which is why I added them to the book that I edited for the HISTORY OF WARGAMES project. That said, a copy of the rules is not to difficult to obtain, and I suspect that you may well find a copy in you email in-tray in the near future.<br /><br />Read and enjoy!<br /><br />All the best,<br /><br />BobRobert (Bob) Corderyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109130990434792266noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-91827103954562119022013-06-22T00:43:06.793+01:002013-06-22T00:43:06.793+01:00Hi Bob,
Last week, I received a long-coveted copy...Hi Bob,<br /><br />Last week, I received a long-coveted copy of "How to play war games in miniature." It's the original (I believe) 1962 edition.<br /><br />Now, it's going to be a treasure in my collection of old wargaming books, but it looks like I've made a tactical error.<br /><br />I've been following your various gridded war games with interest, and expected to find the foundations for those games in the book. But, beyond some tantalizing photos of gridded games in progress, the book doesn't mention gridded game as far as I've been able to find.<br /><br />I take it, from your comments in this post, that I should have bought the edition you edited instead, if that's what I was looking for. Yes?<br /><br />Thanks Bob, in advance for answering this, and for all of the inspiration I get from your blog and rules.<br /><br />WillWill Scarviehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12927162285224441677noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6933470253715910366.post-86206433377811604762013-06-12T08:29:07.899+01:002013-06-12T08:29:07.899+01:00Conrad Kinch,
