Not as detailed as his other two books on specific periods (Napoleonic Wargaming or Ancient & Medieval Wargaming), but an excellent overview, and contains a very nice set of rules (for multiple periods), included simpler versions than those mentioned in his other two books. Nice photos and plenty of inspiration for the newcomer. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐ 4.0 out of 5 stars A Solid Intro to a Captivating Hobby *by S***O on Reviewed in the United States on July 4, 2008* As a longtime miniatures wargamer who has been involved in the hobby for 25 years, I didn't really NEED this book as I'm already quite familiar with wargaming. But I love to collect and read books on wargaming; and as a game designer, I find that there are always ideas to be gleaned from examining different approaches to gaming. Plus, there are very few books of recent vintage that give a good, general overview of the miniatures wargaming hobby. This book by Neil Thomas does just that.This is not a deep history book by any stretch of the imagination, but Thomas provides a solid overview of warfare & tactics in various periods (from ancient times to modern). The book is divided into multiple sections (Ancients, Pike & Shot, American Civil War, etc.), with rules provided for each specific period. While the game rules provided are pretty simple and have an "old school" feel to them, they're perfect for folks just getting into this wonderful hobby -- sensible, not too complex, and play in a reasonable amount of time.This is a book that newcomers should find very useful as a jumping off point into a rich, deep, fascinating hobby, and I would recommend it to that audience.For veteran wargamers, this book isn't a necessary purchase, but I do feel it has 3 uses.First, if you're looking for a simple set of rules to play at a convention, or just like to study other rule sets to gather ideas, this is a worthwhile book in that regard.Secondly, if you want to introduce new friends into the hobby, loan this book to them. It's approachable and not overwhelming, and you can fill in the missing details.Thirdly, if you're like me and enjoy collecting general books on the topic of miniature wargaming, this book is a nice addition to your collection.If you enjoy this book, you will probably also enjoy "Ancient & Medieval Wargaming" by Neil Thomas as well. It's founded upon the same basic rules system used in the intro book (with some tweaks), and provides more depth and richer army lists throughout the Ancient and Medieval periods (my preferred era of historical wargaming). ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars An Excellent Introduction to Wargaming *by C***S on Reviewed in the United States on January 25, 2014* Thomas writes good simple rules for a variety of periods to introduce new gamers to wargaming. In fact, the rules are also good for more experience players who prefer streamlined rule sets. I'd recommend this book to anyone in either of those categories. --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/133913253-wargaming](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/133913253-wargaming) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-05-03*
