Skirmisher Publishing has just released a historic reprint of Little Wars, a work authored by science fiction master H.G. Wells in 1913 and not available since the 1970s.

"We are confident that our edition of Little Wars will appeal to a wide range of readers, from science fiction fans, to history buffs, to miniature warfare and roleplaying gamers," said Michael J. Varhola, Skirmisher's editor-in-chief.

Features of this 98-page book include:

o Clear, authoritative, and entertaining text that reveals both the great mind and the sense of humor of one of the world's greatest science fiction authors.
o A complete miniatures system that can be played as-is or used as the basis for other miniatures rules.
o An appendix on Kriegspiel that expands upon Little Wars and shows how it can be adapted into a military training tool.
o Foreword by Gary Gygax, whose development of Chainmail and Dungeons & Dragons were influenced by H.G. Wells in General and by Little Wars in particular.
o Introduction by editor Michael J. Varhola, author of several history books, gaming sourcebooks, and the Skirmisher miniatures rules.
