John C Candler reproduced this article in Miniature Wargames du Temps de Napoleon in 1964, having taken it with permission from Don Featherstone's Wargamer's Newsletter for September 1962. In turn the Don was reprinting it from its original appearance in the Bulletin of the British Model Soldier Society for January 1953.
I suggest that after playing a game with metal figures, that both sides take a hammer to their tabletop casualties instead to truly experience, "Next to a lost battle, nothing is so sad as a battle that has been won."
