Little Wars

Little Wars

H. G. Wells

Published in 1913, 'Little Wars' by H.G. Wells is a foundational text in miniature wargaming, presenting rules for transforming childhood play into structured games for boys and girls aged twelve and up. The book reflects on the nature of war, suggesting that even simplified versions of battle can reveal the absurdity of real conflict. Wells proposes that simulated warfare could serve as a means of international decision-making, highlighting the contrast between playful strategy and the harsh realities of actual war.
