Discovering Wargames - An Introduction to Table Top Battles and Miniature Warfare; English Civil Wargaming; Rules for Wargaming (Wargaming Collection - Three Volumes)

A collection of three vintage wargaming books, all published in the late 1960s.  Each volume in pictorial light card covers, with black and white illustrations internally.  12mo.  Covers are a little worn and faded, gently rubbed at edges in places, with toning to text block edges, and a little toning in gutters and margins internally.  Discovering Wargames and Rules for Wargaming have a previous owner's name inside front cover/on first leaf, the previous owner being George Gush, who was a contributor to the third volume, English Civil Wargaming. These copies from the library of the late George R P Gush. Gush was head of history at West Kent College but is perhaps better remembered as a key contributor to the development of early wargaming, and as an active wargamer especially in Renaissance wargames. His Renaissance Armies (1975) has become a classic work on the topic. He founded the Tunbridge Wells Wargames Society in the late 1960s, remaining its chairman until 2007. A regular contributor to various wargaming and modelling magazines, he authored with Andrew Finch A Guide to Wargaming (1980) and the well-regarded Wargames Rules for Fifteenth to Seventeenth Centuries.
