Pocket Battle Games 
Released by Against the Odds magazine, these "pocket battles" were designed as promotional items to offer quick enjoyment and increase interest and awareness of wargames.
Each game is self-contained: printed and distributed on a postcard-sized sheet of paper with rules on one side, a small map on the other, and small number of double-sided counters that can be cut out and used.
Note: Although often called "postcard games", this is a slight misnomer for the series because some games do not include space to write out address information that would be required to mail the card.
