Brett Holman summarizes his thoughts on several early 20th Century War Games including War Tactics or Can Britain Be Invaded? By Lowe and Carr, Aviation: The Aerial Tactics Game of Attack and Defence, L'Attaque, Dover Patrol, and Tri-Tactics all by H. P. Gibson & Sons, and Little Wars by Arms and Armour Press. Holman calls War Tactics the most intriguing of the group and supposes the game was a reflection of the anti-German war scare in Britain prior to World War I.
