"Many wargamers think that after the publication of Little Wars by H.G.Wells in 1912, not much else happened on the wargaming front until the publications in the sixties of the book Wargames by Donald Featherstone. This is, of course, quite untrue!…"

"Sham Battle" was also the name given to a game we played in junior high school PE class (circa 1970). The game revolved around throwing inflated rubber balls at each other. When you got hit, you had to wait out of bounds until you were allowed back in. Sometimes we had two teams, and sometimes it was the great war of all against all.
