Kriegsspiel Hits You Tube!!
Written by Martin James   

So you want to know more about what we do and how we do it.

Have a look at the link here and we hope over time to add some more You Tube content to give people a better idea of the types of games and how they are played.

This shows some of the action at our game held on the 18th Feb 2012. 

This was a hypothetical scenario set in September 1944 which assumed Eisenhower supported Patton's advance to the West Wall through Lorraine with sufficient logistics, plus two airborne drops, rather than mounting Operation Market-Garden in the Netherlands.

It was a challenging game to play and umpire, but presented players with intriguing decisions, produced authentic outcomes and a decisive result. Starting from a bridgehead over the Moselle, the US XX Corps managed to link-up with the inexperienced 17th Airborne Division holding key bridges over the River Nied. By the end of the game some of the German panzer units were effectively trapped. The final drive NE to the River Saar was not gamed, but German reserves and reinforcements had been used-up in a series of fierce counter-attacks, and there was now little to stop a further American advance to link-up with the veteran 82nd airborne Division at Saarbrucken.

 Well done to Ian for his first  game and thanks to Martin for all the help he gave to Ian.

 
The Basic Kriegsspiel Idea
Written by Bill Leeson   
Kriegsspiel, of course, simply means Wargame. But wargames take so many different forms today from computer games to paint ball shooting that I think it is useful to retain the Kriegsspiel description for games which fall into a certain type so that we may know what we are talking about.
