Well John,
I wouldn't pass myself off as an expert on Historic Premil, but my understanding is that it sees the Church as going through the Tribulation and doesn't see the Church Age as a parenthesis as traditional Dispensationalists do. However, they do see a literal 1,000 year reign of Christ followed by a rebellion led by Satan.

G.E. Ladd is usually touted as the doyen of Historic Premils.
