The
Complete Wargames Handbook
http://www.hyw.com/Books/WargamesHandbook/Contents.htm
If wargaming has a Dalai Lama, it is James F Dunnigan. Dunnigan
wrote the book on wargaming in most every sense of the word, and this is
the book. Best of all, it is available online. Dunnigan is also editor-in-chief
of The Strategy Page, a website
of StrategyWorld.com.

other information, and provides links to some of the best wargaming sites
on the Web.
Consimworld

in progress.
