Contents
Little Wars includes fairly simple rules for infantry, cavalry, and artillery in the form of a 4.7-inch toy cannon that launches projectiles, usually small wooden pegs, to take out enemy soldiers. Besides being a war game, the book also deals with some philosophical aspects of war.
The book is written in a whimsical style and is illustrated with drawings and photographs from an ongoing game Wells describes in the book. Wells also gives a description of the game from the perspective of one of the combat champions masterfully recounting his memoirs.
