Invaders: When the Navy Walked




The Invaders came from outside the Earth. They came at first in cylinders that slammed into the rural areas around England, Austria, Spain and the United States. Quickly following the cylinders however were saucers manned by the Grays. The Overlords soon began assembling their tripod fighting machines and there was war that spanned the planet. This war was different for the Great Powers because the war was not for territory or resources but for the very survival of the human race.
***************************************************
And for one very brief shining moment mankind over game it's differences to unite ageist a common foe. Combined armies of the great powers and minor nations manned the barricades, erstwhile blood enemies counter attacked all over the globe. British Indian forces with Pathan support ambushed an enemy force in the Khyber Pass. Russian and Japanese forces took heavy losses but over came the enemy on the Kamchatka Peninsula. American, French, and British fleets inflected a severe defeat on the enemy off the coast of Cuba. Turkish and Persian forces drove the invaders out of Basra.
***************************************************
The best minds that mankind could produce met in secret in a basement of a destroyed building
in Zurich Switzerland, with prize pieces of captured alien technology. From this meeting and others around the world new weapons were fashioned to carry the fight to the enemy. Nor was this humanities only hope for in this crisis many otherwise unknown and untried inventors came to the fore. One young inventor, mechanical engineer, and electrical engineer named Nikola Tesla perfected his electrical death ray that disrupted the Grays saucers as well as the mind link that the Masters used to coordinate their attacks.
***************************************************
The tables had at long last began to turn....

LITTLE WARS



There are SIX Chapters with line drawings and photographic illustrations as well as an appendix in the complete book, "Little Wars." On this website we will only host part of Chapter Three - "The Rules" (see Contents page above - far right). "Little Wars" is a delightful book and an important socio-political work. We would encourage every student of military and political history to turn every stone in their effort to locate a copy. Hopefully, in the not too distant future, "Little Wars" will once again be available in print so that everyone can enjoy the wit, wisdom and vision of Mr. H. G. Wells.

The Late Great:


Major General
Tremorden Rederring's
Colonial-era Wargames Page
It was with some dismay that I found that the exploits of the
Ouargistan group were gone missing from our archives! But
thanks to the likely lads of the Way Back and their Macintosh
Patent Galvanic Analytical Engine, we may continue to be
enthralled by the gallant undertakings of this most worthy
group of stalwarts!

And to our friends at the Ouargistan group our thanks and
God speed !
