Originally released in Germany in 1780 under the title Versuch eines aufs Schachspiel gebaueten taktischen Spiels von zwei und mehrern Personen zu spielen, this is probaby the oldest published set of modern wargame rules.

This book is a new English language translation of this classic set of groundbreaking game rules.

 

Ordnance Finished

 The artillery and mortar pieces done and I'm hardcore editing the new book.

Not much to report, otherwise. Doing a project like this solo is a lot of fun...and a lot of work. No matter what, it always takes me longer than I think it will, so, anymore, I just have more of an 'it's done when it's done' attitude.  

"Wurkung des Geschußes"

 

Von der Artillerie

These are the beginning stages of ordnance pieces for the game made according to design instructions for an 18th century idea of cool-looking game pieces to represent cannon, mortars or howitzers. The tactics and ideas used in the game were state-of-the-art at the time of initial publication.
