Wording - "Sod this for a game of soldiers" is a British phrase expressing frustration and a desire to give up, commonly originating in military slang during World War I or II. It implies that the current activity is pointless, tiresome, or a poor use of time, often comparing it to trivial games soldiers played to pass time in trenches.
