The cover artwork is here: www.shandyandvauban.blogspot.comThe original rules have been refined, and there is lots of new material – especially about the context from which Little Wars appeared in 1913. This revised and updated edition of Funny Little Wars is a new way of playing the classic garden wargame of HG Wells. It also tells the story of the Edwardian crisis, and the Wellsian imagination, that created Little Wars in 1913.

I am hopeful that the summer will allow me to test the new campaign rules - which are a continuation of HG's ideas at the end of LW.

I hope that there is a lot of outdoor gaming in the coming months.

A quick update on work in progress. Garden Campaigns - coming along and a completely new book. It is a developement of the Kriegspiel suggestions at the end of Little Wars, and it contiunes the 1913 theme of the recent reprint. Timeline - for Christmas 2022. FLW 3 - the HG's 'Big War' or Pals edition. This takes FLW into the Big War and is in the testing stage. Tim is hosting a game tomorrow and I am providing some Chateau generalship. The Pals edition will be launched as a limited edition set of 50 - with some toy soldiers included and sone poppy seeds from Talbot House in Flanders fields. Timeline - for spring 2023. FLW is also now available for sale at The Armoury, St James's and Tradition, Stockholm.

Have a splendid game tomorrow. I look forward to hearing how it went. Exciting times ahead. Any news on the interwar set? Btw Blogger is not allowing me to leave comments on your blog ( and sundry others) currently.

Thanks Alan, and Tim has uploaded part one of the report. It was a great game - transferred to a Floor game due to the rain. funnylittlewars.blogspot.com/And the Inter Wars rules are mostly finished - just awaiting a multi player test. The aim is to get Garden Camapigns out this year, and the 'Big War' and Inter War sets out next year. Hope that all is well with you
