Kriegsspiel 1862

(1 customer review)


The 1862 rules that the Prussians used to train for their spectacular victories in Bismarck’s wars. This set builds upon the original 1824 rules but includes details of the Dreye needle gun and rifled artillery, bringing the rules up to date. In pdf format these rules provide all you need to share that historic experience.

Gamers interested in this period might well be interested to note that there is a guide to Kriegsspiel in the Seven Weeks War of 1866, with full details for creating and using Austrian forces, in the 2008 Summer Special.

    This is an add on and assumes familiarity with the 1824 rules for some of the more detailed parts. However, it does give enough information to get going with Kriegsspiel and the addition of breach loading fire arms opens up whole new areas of interest outside of Europe including the American Civil War and some colonial conflicts and the price is right.
