Le Kriegspiel - Part 2 - Tactical Units

After two reminders eight years apart (thank you Unknown and Kornberg) here is the missing Part 2:

Tactical Units

Infantry
Cavalry
Artillery

which comprise pages 7-16 of the Pat Condray translation.

See Translation by Pat Condray of French original ed. Pierre Foure

I hope this is better late than never.

Le Kriegspiel - Part 1 - Foreword, Introduction and Terrain

I am grateful to Pat Condray for his permission to post his 1969 translation of Pierre Foure and Jean Belaubre's Le Kriegspiel rules.

I have split it into five sections to make it easier to use.

My apologies for the quality of the scans - these have been taken from a slightly dodgy photocopy, rather than an original of the book.

Le Kriegspiel - Part 3 - Combat and Situations

Two further sections from Pat Condray's 1968 translation of these rules - thanks again for his permission to post these.

Le Kriegspiel - Part 4 - 1680 Variant

Le Kriegspiel - Part 5 - American Civil War variant

I'm not sure whether this is complete or if my photocopy is missing the last two pages of the book.

Obscure rule set #1 - Le Kriegspiel by Pierre Foure

I have a photocopy of Pat Condray's 1969 translation of these rules, published by the Armchair General. It comprises a series of games (Napoleonic; then 1680 and American Civil War variants) which were originally devised by the Societe de Collectionneurs de Figurines Historiques. They were edited by Pierre Foure and first translated into English by Pat Condray in 1964. The 1969 version contained a revised translation.

They are noteworthy for a number of reasons:

a) they are not well known
b) they are unusual because of their French origins
c) they are designed for use on a hexagon based board
d) they could be used with figures or with bases (playing pieces)
e) they contain short adapted versions for two further periods.

Given the current interest in playing Command and Colours Napoleonic with figures, perhaps they deserve to be better known.

I would be interested to know if anyone out there is familiar with these rules or has indeed played them.

They also contain some interesting line drawings in the section on the 1680 variant of a line of 20mm figures. Again, I would be interested to know if anyone can identify this range.

Apologies for the quality of the attached pictures - they are scans from a not very good photocopy.
