"Little Wars; a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty…" by H. G. Wells is a set of rules for playing with toy soldiers published in 1913. The book provides simple rules for miniature wargaming using infantry, cavalry, and artillery, including a toy cannon that launches projectiles to knock down enemy soldiers. Written in a whimsical style with philosophical reflections on war, Wells describes actual gameplay
through drawings, photographs, and mock-heroic battle memoirs, while revealing his pacifist views on warfare. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
