What is Skirmish Wargaming
Donald Featherstone is one of the cornerstones of modern miniatures gaming. His first book was published in 1962 and the last one I've seen was published in 1998, but there may be later ones, too.
This "game" is only a book - no figures, terrain, dice, etc., are provided. It contains his rules for skirmish miniatures gaming. In skirmish wargaming, each figure represents one man (or woman or animal). Consequently, they tend to represent small action warfare.
The book has a chapter of basic rules common to all the scenarios, then provides detailed scenarios (even with an entertainingly written fictional account) and special rules for the following eras:
The Vikings (850 AD)
