Abstract: A playing piece for war game constructed of tissue like materials, which can simulate realistically the damage caused by warfare. Using extremely inexpensive materials, the war game playing pieces may be easily built and then destroyed by the players. The war game playing piece may, for example simulate a ship, in which each of the layers, from the hull, through armored layers, right through to the hull may be simulated by layers of tissue of varying colors. When water shot, for example, by a water pistol in incident upon the simulated ship the water will cause part of the playing piece to become a soggy wad. This material may be pinched away revealing the extent of damage by examination of the colors so revealed. Enumerable games may be constructed around this basic playing piece and various ships, airplanes and vehicles and fixed structures may be simulated in a similar manner.
