Like it was the original tabletop wargame, next to only its predecessor, Kriegsspiel. And that game featured a diverse range of different units that complimented each other in battle, including artillery for ranged defense, cavalry for mobile offense, and infantry for a balance of both. Hell, without it and its rules, we wouldn't have Dungeon & Dragons, itself originating from a tabletop wargame called Chainmail.
Plus, I prefer the fantasy of building and commanding an army at war, over the fantasy of soloing an entire army that makes up most video games today. It was one of the reasons why I enjoyed Commander Shepard as the protagonist of the Mass Effect trilogy. And it's also why, with all of these Sonic the Hedgehog OC's as well as Sonic's friends, I almost half expect Sonic to gather and unite an army of similarly-designed cartoon animals against Dr. Eggman and his own similar Badnik army.
And I'm sure H.G. Wells' Little Wars would have provided that exact same power fantasy.
What about you? Would you want to play H.G. Wells' Little Wars, as well?
