G. Wells. It is a light-hearted, sometimes humorous discussion about the theory, purpose, and methodology of playing a variety of children's games with models, miniatures, and other props.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eFloor Games is often characterized as a \"companion book\" to Wells's Little Wars , though as the text of the earlier book makes clear, it was conceived of as a self-standing volume that the author might eventually decide to follow with a text devoted purely to war games.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLittle Wars is a set of rules for playing with toy soldiers, written by H. G. Wells in 1913. Its full title is 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.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eLittle Wars included fairly simple rules for infantry, cavalry, and artillery in the form of a toy 4.7 inch naval gun that launched projectiles, usually small wooden dowels to knock down enemy soldiers. In addition to it being a war game, the book hints at several philosophical aspects of war.\u003cbr\u003e(This e-book is optimized for e-book readers and with an active table of contents.)\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eEditor’s Note (10\/06\/2012) - The missing illustrations are fixed based on a reader’s feedback. \u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003eCONTENTS\u003cbr\u003eEDITOR’S FOREWORD \u003cbr\u003eABOUT THE AUTHOR \u003cbr\u003eFLOOR GAMES \u003cbr\u003e      Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e      Section I - THE TOYS TO HAVE \u003cbr\u003e      Section II - THE GAME OF THE WONDERFUL ISLANDS \u003cbr\u003e      Section III - OF THE BUILDING OF CITIES \u003cbr\u003e      Section IV - FUNICULARS, MARBLE TOWERS, CASTLES AND WAR GAMES, BUT VERY LITTLE OF WAR GAMES \u003cbr\u003eLITTLE WARS \u003cbr\u003e     List of Full-Page Illustrations\u003cbr\u003e      I - OF THE LEGENDARY PAST \u003cbr\u003e      II - THE BEGINNINGS OF MODERN LITTLE WARFARE \u003cbr\u003e      III - THE RULES \u003cbr\u003e            THE COUNTRY \u003cbr\u003e            THE MOVE \u003cbr\u003e            MOBILITY OF THE VARIOUS ARMS \u003cbr\u003e            HAND-TO-HAND FIGHTING AND CAPTURING \u003cbr\u003e            VARIETIES OF THE BATTLE-GAME \u003cbr\u003e            COMPOSITION OF FORCES \u003cbr\u003e            SIZE OF THE SOLDIERS \u003cbr\u003e      IV - THE BATTLE OF HOOK'S FARM \u003cbr\u003e      V - EXTENSIONS AND AMPLIFICATIONS OF LITTLE WAR \u003cbr\u003e      VI - ENDING WITH A SORT OF CHALLENGE \u003cbr\u003e      APPENDIX - LITTLE WARS AND KRIEGSPIEL","brand":"Stingray","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47146298147056,"sku":"2940015605532","price":0.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0737\/7593\/9824\/files\/2940015605532_p0.jpg?v=1763622094","url":"https:\/\/shop-qa.barnesandnoble.com\/products\/2940015605532","provider":"Barnes \u0026 Noble (DEV)","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
