Little Wars; a game for boys from twelve years of age to one hundred and fifty and for that more intelligent sort of girl who likes boys' games and books.

by H. G. (Herbert George) Wells

"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.
