As with so many others, I was introduced into the hobby by his writing. A great loss.

Indeed 

A sad loss to the hobby, it was his books that inspired me to take up this hobby of ours. He will be missed

A very sad loss. This was the man who got me into wargaming all those years ago (1968) when I was loaned a copy of 'Wargames' by a school friend who became my first wargames opponent. First game was ACW using Don's rules and then I became a subscriber to 'Wargamers Newsletter'. I was later inspired by his following books. Strangely I was in a bookshop in Hexham yesterday and there was an old signed copy of Don's 'Solo Wargaming'.

Very sad news. It takes me back a long way to a time when a book shop would let a raggedy student virtually memorise a book that he couldn't afford  . Alas those times are well and truly behind us now.

Incidentally I did buy his books when I could eventually afford them. Some of my first influences, and not only in wargaming.
