From the introduction: "Few fictional worlds have created the interest that has grown from the Mars of Edgar Rice Burroughs. As a world of constant warfare and adventure, it is naturally of special interest to the wargamer. In this area we are quite fortunate in the amount of information on military organization provided by Burroughs. Unfortunately, we do not have similar information on the relative strengths of the various nations and empires of the dominant Red Race of Mars. Such statistics must be extrapolated from the performance of these nations in their never-ending strife on Barsoom."
