This year as stated elsewhere we are celebrating the 110th Anniversary of the publication of H.G. Wells Little Wars so special kudos for anyone that gets their creative juices flowing and comes up with something that fits in with that concept. We would love to see someone take on doing something in line with that – could be flats, could be the old W Britain’s figures actually using his rules –- although H&S may draw the line at shooting matchsticks out of a toy cannon at them a la Jerome K Jerome – although it could make an interesting participation game -the canvas is broad.
So if you wish to put on a demonstration or participation game, then please contact: [email protected]
