Garden Campaigns is the second volume of Funny Little Wars. It continues the story of HG Wells classic toy soldier wargames book, 'Little Wars' and provides a system for playing HG's Kriegsspiel suggestions and annotations. It also explores the extraordinary Edwardian novelist, William Le Queux and his book, 'The Invasion of 1910.' A series of campaign games is developed from this truly Wellsian, and Little Wars, 'shocker'. Zeppelins, forts and many new rules are included.
The book will also be available at Tradition, Stockholm and the Armoury of St James in London.
