Hall developed his tactical game system through decades of personal wargaming, and he now shares his unique system with readers everywhere. The rules are easy to learn, and the games are fast-paced. The scenarios cover almost all of the major theaters of conflict, including France 1940, the Mediterranean, the South Pacific, North-West Europe, and the Eastern Front. A table of organization and equipment is included to assist readers in recreating wargame infantry and armor formations.

Hall doesn’t simply provide a set of rules for 15mm to 1/72 scale; he infuses the chapters with wargame theory, tactics, and tank development. He provides the logic behind each rule and talks about how the rule design plays out on the battlefield. He also shares stories and anecdotes about his early “toy soldier” days and about how he developed into a wargamer—stories sure to spark readers’ memories of their own first set of soldiers.
