H G Wells playing a wargame, drawing from the Illustrated London News, 25 January 1913. People who’ve never come across the hobby before tend to assume that wargamers must be a bunch of tub-thumping jingoists. Nothing could be further from the truth. H.G.Wells, who wrote one of the earliest texts on “Little Wars” just over a hundred years ago, ended his book with the following well-chosen words:. 8220;How much better is this amiable miniature than the Real Thing! 8220;Never Again War! The Die Is Cast.

Captain's Blog: Form 540: April 2011
http://rhingley540.blogspot.com/2011_04_01_archive.html
Captain's Blog: Form 540. I have been thinking for a while that I would like to start a war gaming blog of the games, especially the miniature games, that I have been playing. The problem has been coming up with a suitable title for this blog. I then thought of the RAF (and other Commonwealth Air Forces) Form 540. It was a much better choice than either Captain's Blog: Wargame Diary or Captain's Blog: Kreigstagebuch. Friday, April 29, 2011. Armies In there Initial Positions viewed from the West. Anthony ...
