This copy from the library of the late George R P Gush. Gush was head of history at West Kent College but is perhaps better remembered as a key contributor to the development of early wargaming, and as an active wargamer especially in Renaissance wargames. His Renaissance Armies (1975) has become a classic work on the topic. He founded the Tunbridge Wells Wargames Society in the late 1960s, remaining its chairman until 2007. A regular contributor to various wargaming and modelling magazines, he authored with Andrew Finch A Guide to Wargaming (1980) and the well-regarded Wargames Rules for Fifteenth to Seventeenth Centuries.
