This copy comes from the collection of the late George R P Gush.  Gush  was head of history at West Kent College but is perhaps better remembered as a key contributor to the development of early wargaming, and as an active wargamer especially in Renaissance wargames.  His Renaissance Armies (1975) has become a classic work on the topic.  He founded the Tunbridge Wells Wargames Society in the late 1960s, remaining its chairman until 2007.  A regular contributor to various wargaming and modelling magazines, he authored with Andrew Finch  A Guide to Wargaming (1980) and the well-regarded Wargames Rules for Fifteenth to Seventeenth Centuries.
