Kriegsspiel's Birth
Period: Napoleonic
Scale: 10mm
Length: 2-3 hours
Players: 4-10
Rules: Kriegsspiel (modified)

One of the byproducts of the Napoleonic Wars was the Wargame with the creation of the Prussian training game Kriegsspiel. Join us as we combine concepts from the original Kriegsspiel, which dates from 1811, with techniques of contemporary computer driven wargaming using the innovative Napoleonic Carnage and Glory II ruleset. Set somewhere in 1813 central Germany, elements of the reformed Prussian Army clash with that of the newly reconstituted post 1812 French Army during the War of the 6th Coalition. With an emphasis on realistic command and control, this game combines both old and new wargaming for a unique experience. Oftentimes umpires have more fun than the players! Participants of all ages welcomed with no knowledge of the rules needed.
