“Quite apart from the amusement that can be derived from a war game, it can teach valuable military lessons, for it familiarizes the players with the methods of war, such as building up a reserve or attempting to take the enemy by surprise.” - Brigadier Peter Young (Retired) (Foreword to War Games - 1962).
“His [Charles Grant’s] remarks on the ponderous nature of eighteenth-century cavalry, for example, are particularly pertinent in these days when the cinema and television give such a hopelessly false impression of the cavalry tactics of olden times.” - Brigadier Peter Young (Retired) (Foreword to The War Game - 1971).
