Outside of wargamer circles, not many people realize that H. G. Wells, author of War of the Worlds, The Invisible Man, The Time Machine, and other sci-fi classics, also wrote one of the first miniatures rules sets: Little Wars.
As you can see by the link, my good friends at Skirmisher Publishing have released a new edition of that milestone work. And now they’re coating the whole thing in a savory glaze of fantasy sauce and releasing the new version as Little Orc Wars.
This is the introductory quick-play version. I actually didn’t do any writing, editing or layout on this, but I did read it while uploading it, so I can assure you it’s a fun game with a simple, yet strategic system.
And the image of the orc children in little sailor suits makes it worth looking at.
