'Without Tony Bath, there would be no Slingshot for us to read, Ancient Wargaming would not have become the most influential and popular branch of the hobby and the art of Wargames Campaigns would be much less richly developed.'
Phil Barker, WRG, DBA, DBM, DBMM

Tony Bath's early inspiration was the force that launched ancient wargaming. With his friend Donald Featherstone, he pioneered the first table top ancient battles and the most well-known of all wargaming campaigns, the Legend of Hyboria.

This compilation of his work includes:
The Pelast and Pila Ancient Wargaming Rules
The complete book, Setting up a Wargames Campaign
The Legend of Hyboria (including notes on the conclusion of that climatic campaign)

Setting up a Wargames Campaign is a complete guide to setting up an ancient and medieval campaign and has chapters on:
Map movement
Contact, battles and after effects
Playing with umpires and without
Supplies and replacements
Guidelines on running campaigns in other periods.
As Donald Featherstone said, 'a perfect little book'

This book has been produced in partnership with the Society of Ancients

The History of Wargaming Project is edited by John Curry. It aims to present the very best wargaming books and rules to a modern audience.
