Playtesting Wargames Research Group 4th Edition Ancient Rules 1980

Andy Macmaster has very kindly allowed me to download some images from his trip to the Wargames Holiday Centre from 1980 where amongst other games he play tested the WRG 6th edition ancient rules. Peter Gilder was a very active member of the Society of Ancients then and was crowned wargames champion twice by the society. 

The small units look lost on the terrain but that was the nature of the ancient rules back then.

WRG ancient rules virtually had a monopoly in the ancient wargames period and was one of the reasons I started using the title Independent Wargames Group as a sort of anti establishment thing. Naivety ruled sadly.
