About this book
A guide for playing Ancient and Medieval wargames with miniatures, the striking Field of Glory rulebook includes colour coding for easy navigation, clear photographs of miniatures and diagrams (showing rules examples, troop placements, scale considerations and more), detailed Osprey artwork, a guide to figure painting, an overview of the history of this world of warfare, organisation tables and a background to the men who fought on the ground. Containing four ready-to-use army lists, this rulebook can either stand alone and be used for immediate gaming, or can be combined with the army list companions listed above to recreate a diverse range of conflicts in each period of the eras covered.
