- Waller’s Army. The Regiments of Sir William Waller’s Southern Association by Laurence Spring
|
Members £12
Public £16 |
Of all the generals of the English Civil War, Sir William Waller (1597-1668) probably best expressed its tragedy, referring to it as 'this war without an enemy' when writing to his friend Sir Ralph Hopton, whom he faced across the battlefield. Despite this he was a successful general, earning the nickname ‘William the Conqueror’. After his first army was routed at Roundway Down he received a commission to raise a new army. Although he continued to have victories, such as at Alton and Cheriton, he was never given the resources to follow up these victories. When the regional armies were eventually reformed into the ‘New Model Army’, Waller lost his command, and so his military career ended. This book analyses the regiments that made up his second army, which became known as the Southern Association. A 186 page paperback book with 6 pages of colour plates. |
- 'An ill jurney for the Englshemen'. Elis Gruffydd and the 1523 French
campaign of the Duke of Suffolk. Transcribed by M. Byrn Davies and edited
with a new introduction by Jonathan Davies.
|
Members £6.50
Public £10.00
|
This 'most ill-conceived and ill-managed war' was how Sir Charles Oman,
the great historian of Renaissance warfare, described the English invasion
of France in 1523. This hopelessly misguided campaign saw an English army
meander aimlessly over Northern France to little effect, reaching as far
as Montdidier before retiring back to the Channel with its tail between
its legs. The story is told largely in the words of contemporary documents
and in particularly through the eyes of Elis Gruffydd, an articulate Welsh
soldier who left a journal of his experiences full of vigour, freshness
and well-developed sense of irony. A 72-page paperback book.

- Lostwithiel 1644 – The Campaign and Battles by Stephen Ede-Borrett
|
£16 (Public) £12 (Members) |
The summer 1644 campaign in the West of England was a exceptional feat of arms for the Royalist armies and, in contrast, a vivid demonstration of the complete lack of ability of their Parliamentarian opponents to work together. The resultant catastrophic defeat of the Earl of Essex’s army was, together with the failure at Newbury that autumn, highly influential in the vote that created the New Model Army in the following winter. Despite this, however, the campaign is often treated superficially or simply ignored in many histories of the war and no previous detailed history of it has been published, this work aims to correct those omissions. A 158 page paperback book.

- The Art of Gunnery (1647) together with A Treatise of Artificall Fire-Works (1647) by Nathanael Nye . Introduction and Transcription by Cliff Mitchell.
|
£10 (Public) £6.50 (Members)
|
Nathaniel Nye’s work, first published in 1647, was part of an ongoing series of such ‘Gunnery Manuals’ that first began appearing in the sixteenth century. However it is one of only two whose authors are known to have served during the English Civil Wars. As such it is an invaluable addition to our knowledge of the way that contemporary artillerymen felt that their pieces should be handled and its re-publication in 1670 says a great deal about its success and popularity during the seventeenth century. A 96 page paperback booklet
|
- Elis Gruffyrd and the 1544 ‘Enterprises’ of Paris and Boulogne . Transcribed by M. Byrn Davies and edited with a new introduction by Jonathan Davies
|
£7.50 (Public) £5 (Members) |
An 80-page paperback booklet reprinting a contemporary account of the 1544 English campaign in France that culminated in the capture of Boulogne. Elis Gruffydd’s remarkable journal contains a wealth of detail – military, social and political; and from a viewpoint that is hardly ever recorded. Elis was a fully paid up member of the “Poor Bloody Infantry”, and despite attaining the rank of Captain his sympathies were with the suffering soldiery rather than their aristocratic commanders. His harshest criticisms are directed at those in command although he has little time for “idle” soldiers unable to shift for themselves. Opinionated, well informed and thoroughly experienced in the ways of the world his commentary on the expedition is a delight in its vigour, freshness and well-developed sense of irony.

- Captain-General by Tom Smith and Iain Stanford. Wargames Rules for the period 1660-1721.
A Pike and Shot Society Publication.
|
£10.00 (Public) £6.50 (Members) |
Captain-General are a set of wargames rules written specifically for wargaming the late 17 th and early 18 th centuries – the age of the Sun King and Marlborough. The rules originated because of the author’s dissatisfaction with the ability of existing rules to accurately simulate the period. Their design draws heavily on the analysis of battle tactics of the late seventeenth and early eighteenth centuries provided by Brent Nosworthy’s excellent Anatomy of Victory book. In the game, units represent single battalions of foot, regiments of horse or individual batteries of artillery. Although intended primarily for use with 15 mm figures, they can be easily adapted to suit other scales. The rulebook also incorporates 27 different Army Lists.

- General-At-Sea by Iain Stanford. A Pike and Shot Society Publication.
|
£10.00 (Public) £6.50 (Members) |
General-at-Sea are the sister rules of Captain-General and are designed specifically to provide an answer to the challenge of how one can practically wargame the great naval battles of the late 17 th and early 18 th centuries. These engagements involved hundreds of ships and often lasted for days on end. Designed to use smaller scale models (1/2400 and 1/3000), the rules put the player in the role of an Admiral of the period. A stand represents about four ships and a number of stands are used to make up the divisions and squadrons of a fleet. In order to control these stands a robust command system is in place, which limits what players can and cannot do. The rules are designed on the premise that what has been applied to the larger scale land wargames rules can also be applied to naval warfare and that if players can accept moving brigades on the table as one unit, then why not a group of ships?

- Husaria by Iain Wilson. A Pike and Shot Society Publication.
|
£12.00 (Public) £9.00 (Members) |
These are a set of wargames rules specifically designed for recreating tabletop battles using the armies that marched across Eastern Europe from the latter half of the 16 th century to the end of the 17 th century. This a period of history that saw the rise of Poland-Lithuania as a great power, the turning of the tide of the Ottoman advance into Europe and the goldern age of the Cossacks. Within this time and space, the march of the ‘military revolution’ seems to have stalled – the art of war in the East differed greatly from that of the West. Cavalry charged home with the lance, infantry were unable to dominate the battlefield and sieges were few and far between. The rulebook consists of 28 pages of rules, 23 pages of army lists and 13 pages of notes on historical battles and commanders.
