Table tactics
Wargams Tactics. By Charles Grant. Cassell, 1979. 192 pp. $17.95. Dedicated to the thesis that, wargaming can offer both fun and success to those who adopt the right approach, Charles Grant’s “Wargame Tactics” sets out to show how that right approach can be achieved. Basically, Mr Grant’s argument is that victory at the wargame table usually goes to the player who most closely adheres to the tactics of the period in question. Accordingly Mr Grant seeks, in this attractively written little book, to discuss, and then illustrate with imaginary battles, basic military tactics from periods ranging from Ancient Greece to the mid-nineteenth century. The result is a lively arid informative book, sadly illustrative of the loss wargaming suffered with the death of Charles Grant only months after completing the manuscript. — D. C. Gunby.
