Introduction[]
Possibly the most important wargames book ever published, the 1824 von Reisswitz Kriegsspiel rules are unique in that they were written by a Prussian army officer who fought and was decorated for valour in the Napoleonic wars.
These rules provide not only a framework for fighting games on maps, but also provide a complete and comprehensive refrence work for anyoone who truly seeks to understand warfare of the Napoleonic period. As well as the original 1824 rules TooFatLardies publish the 1862 update, several maps and scenarios.
