TABLETOP BATTLE TACTICS: Techniques for Wargaming Success: Book 1 - Infantry, Cavalry and Artillery Basics

1-242161

Based on a series of articles written by the author for Wargames, Soldiers & Strategy magazine, this is the first of two volumes that pull together all that tabletop tactical advice under a single cover for easy reference. The content spans the globe, launching you from ancient Greece, Rome and Byzantium, soaring across medieval and renaissance Europe, and taking in the conflicts of more recent times that might be in Russia, the Western Desert, Iraq, or Afghanistan. Outlines how each troop type evolved its own tactics to counter its enemies and make best use of new technologies as they arose.

The advice contained here will help you make the best of your infantry, cavalry, artillery, chariots and elephants, through to the radical changes brought about in, for example, artillery from the late 19th century onwards. Most of the information is completely generic, with a few examples to help you understand how different arms and tactics are represented in popular rulesets like Black Powder, Hail Caesar, Chain of Command, Warhammer Ancient Battles and others.
