In the Slingshot, issue #16, March 1968, on page 1 in the introduction it is mentioned:

"Enclosed with this issue you will receive the first Society Booklet, which contains the revised rules for war gaming by land and sea. It is hoped that this will be the first of a series of booklets on various subjects, all of which will be issued free to Society members. Additional copies of this first booklet are available at a cost of 2/6d."

These were revised Tony Bath Ancients rules and the Society of Ancients official tournament rules until March 1971 when they moved to the WRG rules.

Anyone have a copy or know where to obtain a copy? (Yes, I'm reaching out to SoA).

Do you know the actual title? I may have it in my archives.

No, that's the best I can tell from the Slingshot issues of the time.

Thank you for looking!
