Wargame

Simulations of military operations ranging from the historic to the hypothetical and fantastic. Game scale can range from man-to-man combat to strategic level operations. Units are most commonly represented by cardboard chits on a hexagonal map though a number of games use miniatures.

While kids have been playing at war with toy soldiers and other figurines for ages, the first official wargame rules in the modern sense were devised by H.G. Wells, the science fiction author, in 1913. At that time, the neckbeard had not yet come into style, so Mr. Wells had to settle for a rather dapper moustache. So be classy and take a look at the rules for the first ever Wargame, right here.
