'Donald Featherstone was one of the dozen or so people who, in the 20th century, turned wargaming into both a hobby and a more useful tool for military professionals.' James F. Dunnigan 'Don's Book 'War Games' in 1962 was an amazing thunderclap to an entire generation of would-be wargamers.' Paddy Griffith Through forty books on wargaming and military history, literally thousands of magazine articles and countless talks, Don's energetic efforts made wargaming widely available, even respectable. However, despite this proliferation of writing, some areas remained hidden. 'Lost Tales' covers some of these omissions. This book covers diverse material from a lifetime's experience of wargaming including: 'My War - Sergeant Featherstone 7893763' 'Modern Wargaming - How it all Began in the 1960's.' No less than twelve sets of Don's favourite rules from ancients to World War II, including two unpublished sets. The History of Don's unit, the 51st Tank Battalion The Royal Tank Regiment.
