A 1983 translation into English and reprint of the original Prussian Kriegspiel map wargame. The book includes all the tables and charts needed to play as well as cardboard units to be cut out and a terrain map for a small battle. Leeson's translation includes some elements from later developments in the game, until about 1870, when the "Rigid Kriegspiel" (rules-based) of Von Reisswitz gave way to the "Free Kriegspiel" system (based on the umpire's judgment and experience). The aim of the rules is well described by the subtitle "Instructions for the Representation of Military Maneuvers with Kriegspiel Apparatus." The book has been reprinted by Too Fat Lardies in 2007.
