Bøger af Hugh Knight

The hobby of historical shooting helps us explore the past in a different way, by collecting and shooting antique or reproduction firearms in a manner as close as possible to the way they were used in their days of glory.In this book the author explores the history and use of the Snider-Enfield rifle. It covers the history, maintenance, ballistics, ammunition, equipment, and firing of the rifle, working extensively from period manuals and books, so that a modern collector can learn to use the rifle as it was used in the nineteenth century.

This book contains detailed background information, rules, and instructions for playing 40 games from 5,000 BCE to 1600 CE and from Ancient Egypt to Renaissance England. Carefully researched and lavishly illustrated, it will be a fascinating and enjoyable resource for historians, reenactors, or people who just enjoy playing historical games. All of the rule sets have been extensively play tested to balance historical authenticity with playability.
