DBA 2.2 and Bruce Quarrie's Napoleonic Wargaming in print

I am pleased to announce the publication of the classic DBA 2.2 rules, with chapters on tactics, their development, applying the to historical battles (includes contributions from Phil Steele). These were a landmark set of rules and their story is worth recording.



Bruce Quarries book on Napoleonic Wargaming is also in print. The rules are dated, but the book itself is a fine book on Napoleonic warfare, recommended by Paddy Griffith and David Chandler.


They can be bought from my site www.wargaming.co or www.lulu.com

Operation Warboard, a book about Kriegspiel, a book about early naval wargames and a lost book on Commandoes by Don Featherstone are all under way.

  1. Hi John,

    That is my birthday shopping list sorted out then (even though it is not until September!)! I am very interested in the forthcoming naval title - any clues at all?

    All the best,

  4. I always rather liked Quarrie - the chapter on finance was fascinating.

  5. Quarrie's book was a serious attempt to put wargaming on an academic footing. In due course I will publish the Sandhurst wargaming clubs Napoleonic Wargaming rules. Small figures, battlefields the size of a hall and lost of officer cadets to move the figures around the floor.
