If you're into miniatures wargaming, I encourage you to check out The Games of War: A Treasury of Rules for Battles with Toy Soldiers, Ships and Planes. This book by John Bobek is a great resource as it provides a basic game mechanic to play out battles from various eras in history. Even if you're not interested in the mechanics, it provides a wealth of insight into the way the battles were fought and the arms, armor, and mounts used. I heartily recommend it.
