Each group was strengthened to survive and thrive in their new environment. In time, as the detrimental effects waned and the earth was resurrected, these new Nations emerged to be successors in the Land called Amrika.
Now, years after the first settlements arose from the ashes, the Nations continue to expand out from their settlements and interact in

The Game of Kings Miniature Game Engine is available for you to use to create your own Miniature Tabletop Role Playing Game and/or Wargame setting using rules from
proven game mechanics since 1911, originating from Wargames used in Military War Colleges and developed by writers over the centuries, including
H.G. Wells – the writer of ‘War of the Worlds’.
The history of Wargaming and References are included within this document.
These rules and the text are released into the Public Domain to be developed into a final Open Source document freely available for commercial and fan use – by any and all – much like the rules of Chess and Go.
The point system found in this document is used in The World That Was Miniature Game – Avatars & Armies and The World That Was Role Playing Game - Kings & Kaiju - now made available to players and publishers to use and adapt to their own systems.
