Page "Wargaming" Paragraph 17

Around the same time in the UK Donald Featherstone began writing an influential series of books on wargaming, which represented the first mainstream published contribution to wargaming since H. G Wells.

Titles included: Wargames, Advanced Wargames, Solo Wargaming, Wargame Campaigns, Battles with Model Tanks, Skirmish Wargaming.

Such was the popularity of such titles that other authors were able to have published wargaming titles.

This output of published wargaming titles from British authors coupled with the emergence at the same time of several manufacturers providing suitable wargame miniatures ( e. g. Miniature Figurines, Hinchliffe, Peter Laing, Garrisson, Skytrex, Davco, Heroic & Ros ) was responsible for the huge upsurge of popularity of the hobby in the late 1960s and into the 1970s.
