The Great War In England 1897 is an 1894 novel about an invasion of England by France and Russia. Interestingly, Germany comes in on England’s side.
It’s an interesting entry in what you might call the literature of the wars of futures past.

Free Textures For Paper Buildings
CG Textures has a terrific collection of textures you can download and use to design your own paper buildings. There area bricks, doors, windows and more. I’m going to use them to create some photorealistic 15mm buildings for an upcoming zombie game.
Thanks to reader Troy for the tip!
La Guerre Infernale
La Guerre Infernale is a 30 issue illustrated magazine published in 1908 about a future war between France and Germany.
Even if you don’t read French, the Victorian Science Fiction illustrations are terrific. Lots of inspiration for your VSF games.
Indiana Jones: The Animated Series
No it is not really a series, but merely a fan-made “trailer” for a non-existent cartoon show.
Nonetheless, it is full of pulp goodness.
The Battle of Dorking
Published in 1871, The Battle of Dorking is a novella about a German invasion of England. Set fifty years after the defeat and dissolution of the Empire, it is framed as the reminisces of a veteran to his grandchildren.
You might call this a novel of a war of futures past.
