Little Wars by H. G. Wells
Requirements: PDF Reader, 185 KB
Overview: " “LITTLE WARS” is the game of kings—for players in an inferior
social position. It can be played by boys of every age
from twelve to one hundred and fifty—and even later if the
limbs remain sufficiently supple—by girls of the better sort,
and by a few rare and gifted women. This is to be a full
History of Little Wars from its recorded and authenticated
beginning until the present time, an account of how to make
little warfare, and hints of the most priceless sort for the
recumbent strategist …."
Little Wars included fairly simple rules for infantry, cavalry, and artillery in the form of a toy 4.7-inch naval gun that launched projectiles, usually small wooden dowels to knock down enemy soldiers. In addition to its being a war game, the book hints at several philosophical aspects of war.
The book is written in a whimsical style and illustrated with amusing drawings and photographs of a game being played that Wells describes in the book. Wells also gives a description of the game from the view of one of the generals in the battle bombastically relating his memoirs.
