According to Wells, the idea of the game developed from a visit by his friend <a href="/wiki/Jerome_K._Jerome" title="Jerome K. Jerome">Jerome K. Jerome</a>. After dinner, Jerome began shooting down <a href="/wiki/Toy_soldier" title="Toy soldier">toy soldiers</a> with a toy cannon and Wells joined in to compete. The two decided that with an addition of written rules, a good <a href="/wiki/Kriegsspiel_(wargame)" class="mw-redirect" title="Kriegsspiel (wargame)">Kriegsspiel</a> type game could be developed. The game revolved around the use of lead <a href="/wiki/Permanent_mold_casting#Slush" title="Permanent mold casting">hollow cast</a> soldiers made by <a href="/wiki/Britains" title="Britains">W. Britain</a> and battlefields made from whatever materials were on hand, usually blocks or other toys. Simple rules of movement, firing, and <a href="/wiki/Close_combat" class="mw-redirect" title="Close combat">close combat</a> were developed with a set amount of time for each player to move and fire. Wells also provides a chapter of "Extensions and Amplifications of Little War".
