The publishing rights for ''L'Attaque'' were acquired for the United Kingdom by game maker [[Gibsons Games|H.P. Gibson and Sons]] in 1925,<ref name=Time-1942>{{cite magazine |url=https://content.time.com/time/subscriber/article/0,33009,774147,00.html |title=Little Wars |magazine=[[Time Magazine|Time]] |date=14 December 1942}}</ref> retaining the French name through at least the 1970s.<ref>{{cite web |url=https://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O1155344/lattaque-board-game-hp-gibson/ |title=L'attaque |website=Victoria & Albert Museum |access-date=18 July 2023}}</ref><ref>{{cite web |url=https://artsandculture.google.com/asset/board-game-l-attaque-h-p-gibson-and-sons-ltd/PwFvPKR8lrig8A |title=Board game: L'Attaque! |publisher=Google Arts & Culture |access-date=18 July 2023}}</ref> Gibsons also produced several modified forms of the game, at least one of which predates the acquisition of the rights:

* [[Dover Patrol (game)|Dover Patrol]] – a naval warfare game on a board of 12×8 squares devised by Harry A. Gibson in 1911, but very similar to L'Attaque (and hence Stratego)
* [[Aviation (game)]] – an air battle variation designed by Harry Gibson in 1925, with a variant called Battle of Britain sold in the 1970s
* [[Tri-Tactics (game)|Tri-Tactics]] – a game combining land, sea and air warfare on a 12×12 board, with 56 pieces per person, dating from 1932, evolved from the above games.<ref>{{cite book|last1=Lewin|first1=Christopher George|title=War Games and Their History|date=2012|publisher=Fonthill Media|location=UK|isbn=978-1-78155-042-7|page=161}}</ref>
