Bill Leeson has brought wargamers a vast wealth of difficult to find original works by reproducing the actual text of period books that now exist in one ortwo veryexpensive copies. He has now published his 2nd edition of the original Miniature wargame, The kriegsspiel by Von Reisswitz. By itself it is an interesting read as we discoverthat many of our present day mechanisms for gaming were used in this text for teaching the Prussian Officer Corps the tactics and strategy of the early 1800s. This translation gives us insight into what Napoleonic warfare must have been like as it is these lessons that Von Reisswitz is trying to teach his pupils. It is also an interesting and fun wargame. Bill also publishes maps, umpire sheets and metal troop blocks for use with the game. Recommended for any Napoleonic gamer's bookshelf. $18.60 pp to Bill Leeson, 5 St. Angnells Lane Cottage, Hemel Hempstead, Herts, HP2 7HJ.
