One flaw on the question of Wells' second book.
"Although Floor Games (1911) is often characterized as a "companion book" to Wells' Little Wars (1913), the earlier book was conceived of as a self-standing volume so that the author might later write a book devoted purely to war games. Floor Games describes mostly specific games for young children, whereas Little Wars describes war games for older children and adults. "

I had a professor who maintained if you have one error in your presentation, there may be others:)
