The War Game - C. S. Grant. [An Icon.]

Ancient Wargaming - Phil Barker. [Hard back pamphlet.]

Wargame Campaigns - C. S. Grant. [Useful.]

Setting Up A Wargames Campaign - Tony Bath. [Useful.]

Wargames Campaigns - D. Featerstone. [Still useful.]

War Games through the Ages 1792 - 1859 - D. Featherstone.

Wargames through the Ages 3000BC - 1,500AD - D. Featherstone. [That's scope! and the page with the Romans is missing from mine!]

These lists are a great resource, James, A couple of years ago you posted a splendid Italian Wars list on the Piquet Yahoo Group, if I remember rightly. You should so post that up too with your helpful comments : )
