Medieval Warfare Rules

Originally published by the Society of Ancients in 1969, this set of rules was a late development of the simple Bath/Featherstone system that held sway before the days of Wargames Research Group. It is widely considered to have been the ultimate in 'fun' rules of the time. The final publication was in booklet form in 1984. These miniatures rules are semi-skirmish level rules allowing for combats in open field, around fortifications (sieges), or on shipboard (rivercraft or boats). Players create their own scenarios and victory conditions. Gameplay follows the typical 1960s style of simultaneous action via written orders and combat resolution via die rolls and modifiers familiar to anyone who has played early Donald Featherstone or Tony Bath ancient and medieval rules.
