From the introduction: "'Can you give me some information on war games, please?' 'Where can I find some rules to play war games with?' My mail is flooded with these two requests, and they are difficult questions to answer. So far as I know there is only one publication devoted to war games. That is the War Game Digest of which I am editor and publisher. Yet, actually, this publication is often beyond the comprehension of the beginner who has not experienced the thrill and fun of miniature battles. There is left only the famous book, Little Wars by H. G. Wells, but the rules as laid down by the well-known person are rather too simple for most players."
