Skirmish Wargaming

Wargaming with small groups of model soldiers, in which each figure represents an individual man with his own personality, service record and fighting experience. This book shows how it is accomplished.

Beginning with a description of the advantages of this type of wargaming - where you need to only paint a half a dozen figures instead of hundreds - it then goes on to describe the basic methods of representing movement, weapon firing and hand-to-hand combat in miniature. This is accompanied by a well-thought-out set of essential playing rules applicable to any historical period.
