Review:
"Dan has also penned A Wargamer's Guide to 1066 and The Norman Conquest, an era that readers will recognise as much more familiar territory for him. The broad, introductory brief for the work is the same as for the Zulu Wars title and, taken together - and clearly with many more to follow - I can see this building into an excellent range of reference works for wargamers over the coming years. Well done Pen & Sword!"-- (02/01/2018)
"This is a first class book for war gamers, offering both background and ample information on 'how to go about it'. Most highly recommended"--Stuart Asquith, Author
This should be a useful guide for anyone wishing to explore the Norman Conquest via wargaming.--Toy Solder & Model Figure, Issue 227
