Trade paperback. Condition: Fair. Fully Revised Third Edition. [2], 90 pages. 126 illustrations. Format is approximately 8.25 inches by 10.5 inches. Cover soiled and appears to have some damp staining. No significant impact on pages. This is part of the Ancients series. This is the second of a series of booklets on the armies of the ancient world, intended to provide background information for students of military history, military modellers, illustrations, writers, and archeologists. The only sources on which reliance has been placed are monumental evidence, accounts by ancient authors, and excavation reports. This third edition has been thoroughly updated to take account of the latest research findings. In 1968, and, along with Bob O'Brien and Ed Smith, founded the Wargames Research Group. One of the basic principles of the WRG was that wargames rules should be based on the study of the nature of warfare of the period being modelled, and Phil was initially the researcher of the group. He published his best-known work, the Armies and Enemies of Imperial Rome, in 1972. Roman unit names and ranks are presented as originally termed and not rendered into modern English--thus Legiones is used and not Legions, and Cohortes is used and not Cohorts. The contents are: Tactical Methods, Organization and Formation, Composition of Armies, Major Battles of the Period, and Dress and Equipment. Phil Barker (born 5 November 1932) is one of the major figures in the development of the modern hobby of tabletop wargaming, particularly that of ancient warfare, and is a co-founder of the Wargames Research Group. In the 1960s he was a methods engineer at British Leyland. However, in the 1970s he took voluntary redundancy to become the first person in the UK to work full-time on wargames writing and rules design. At the time, he was also a keen horseman, a skill which he used to advantage in carrying out experiments in the use of cavalry weapons. Phil Barker was a founder member of the Society of Ancients, serving on the committee for many years and contributing regularly to their magazine Slingshot. In 1994 he was elected Life Vice-President.
