This revised and updated edition of Funny Little Wars is a new way of playing the classic garden wargame of HG Wells. It also tells the story of the Edwardian crisis, and the Wellsian imagination, that created Little Wars in 1913.
Paul Holcroft Wright is a battlefield guide and military historian. He lives in Belgium and London.
Superb updating and reorganising. Battle tactic backgrounds and a more concise HG Biography, plus additions and clarification of rules with the benefit of a further decades worth of play make this a truly worthy successor to HGW.
ReplyDeleteAlso enjoyed figure spotting and the number or Boer/German troops serving in the General Staff; Gen Botha ???
The first iteration was good - this really is the book the other had the potential to be. Bravo, Sir. Bravo.
Many thanks and much appreciated. The Boer's havev been remarkably useful!
ReplyDeleteAll good wishes, as ever, P
Just ordered a copy to update my first version. The prompt from your good self on Face Book reminded me. Alan Gruber mentioned there was a second edition but am up to my eyes in retirement projects, not all of which are wargames related, alas. Graham Knight
ReplyDeleteThank you Graham, and very best wishes with the projects - I hope there are many very happy afternoons in toy soldier land.
