Domesday Book issue #5 is dated 1 July 1970, meaning this Saturday marks the 53rd anniversary of the Castles & Crusade Society's Lake Geneva Tactical Studies Association Medieval Miniatures Rules.

I wish there was a clean scan of this somewhere out there. It would be too cool to read!

There's a five year old post in the Gygax ODD Additions thread about the Origins of D&D wherein Gary discusses the LGTSA Medieval Miniature Rules as published in the Domesday Book #5 in July 1970. It's worth noting that the Geneva Medieval Miniatures rules were first published a few months earlier in April in Panzerfaust. And later in that same thread, I posted a transcription of those rules in both Markdown and PDF formats. The rules were published yet again a month later in August in Spartan International Monthly. I'm not sure if the rules published in these three early sources differ, but I know that Gary kept tweaking and embellishing them until they became CM. Jon Peterson would be the one to to ask how much these three published versions differ. He may also have copies of these publications. |

Looking at your transcription, there are certainly differences between the Panzerfaust and Domesday Book version. |

If you seek out "Grognard", it's a clean, reformatted version of the Chainmail rules and, as far as I can tell, is a faithful reproduction without changing anything. www.dropbox.com/s/tnm7v45woqcbqdd/Grognard.pdf?dl=0 |
