The spirit of Battle magazine live on in Battlegames magazine (if you havent read it yet then do so - best wargaming mag out there!)

Battle Comic unfortunately sadly lives no more. Johnny Red, Panzer G Man, Charlie's War - some of the greatest comic strip action ever!

Donald Featherstone's 'Wargames Through the Ages'.  The local library had all four volumes and, as a nipper, I read all of them.  I hadn't even heard of the Franco Prussian war until these books. :o

I think my early books were Airfix guides (played WW2 with 1/72 figures quite a bit), Featherstone's 'Advanced Wargames' (read but was bemused by) and Skirmish Wargames (liked this), Charles Grant's 'Battle' as well as Shire Wargaming publications on wargaming and on the ECW.   I've still got them all plus some classics picked up much more recently such as The Wargame and Charge.   I also played quite a lot of WRG Infantry Action (strictly not a book I know) with 1/32 Airfix figures in the garden with wooden bricks for buildings and defences.
