DONALD FEATHERSTONE.

I can't let Don Featherstone's death go by without comment.

Back in the early 70's it was his book Wargames (along with Charles Grant's Battle! Practical Wargaming) that saw me find a proper use for all those Airfix figures. That was my introduction to what has become a lifelong pastime.

Other of his books have been useful over time: Advanced Wargames (for Personalised Wargames), Skirmish Wargames and Wargaming Airborne Operations.

Don lead a full life outside Wargaming, but will probably be best remembered for his contribution to Wargaming.

The hobby owes him a great debt. Rest in peace, Don.
