Armies of the Spanish Civil War: Battle Tactics, 45 Army Lists, Painting Guide, War Changes

65pp stapled booklet in illustrated stiff card covers.  8vo.  The booklet has been slightly misaligned in the binding process, meaning that some of the pages protrude the text block a little.  Previous owner's name on the front cover else neat, clean, bright and tight. A guide for wargamers to the armies of the Spanish Civil War. This copy comes from the collection 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.
