Kriegspiel's Dark Time (jan 1, 1826 – jan 1, 1862)

Description:

The game, because of the creator, languished for a number of years and was kept alive by wargaming clubs and folks who wanted to play.

This period ends with the publication of a new version of the rules.

It is important to note that much of Kriegsspiel is often overstated yet also understated. This game developed and changed and altered in ways that are only briefly seen. Much of the same development of Kriegsspiel can be seen repeated with Strategos / Strategos-N/Braunstein/Blackmoor.

In this way, I leave some of the incredible games that also appeared in and around Kriegsspiel's time but are not the focus here.
