It is Monday morning quarterbacking from the safe distance of the 21st century. \u003ci\u003eThe Armchair General\u003c\/i\u003e includes seven sets of simplified rules from ancient armies to mechanized and insurgent wars; even campaign supplements for extended play. The historical simulation rules cover:  - Ancient Warfare by Land \u0026amp; Sea  - Dark Age \u0026amp; Medieval Warfare  - Flintlock \u0026amp; Bow  - Musket \u0026amp; Cannon  - The Age of Sail  - Colonialism  - Mechanized \u0026amp; Insurgent Warfare  \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThis book allows even a novice to testing various strategies and tactics. There is something satisfying; tangible; three dimensional about battles with miniatures. Moving through real space and time; recreating scenarios from Hannibal, Caesar and the Vikings to American 3rd World Wars; from individual warriors to armies. The rules are guided by the \"Paperless Principle\". The generaling lies in the deployment of the miniature forces and the contest, not in note-taking and paper-shuffling. \u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"iUniverse","offers":[{"title":"Paperback","offer_id":45163274272919,"sku":"9780595448975","price":1722.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9780595448975.webp?v=1767305947","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/the-armchair-general-wargames-with-historical-miniatures-9780595448975","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
