Game of War Article and Photo's on Web Site
Just uploaded and put on the web site an article from B.W. Kostwinner who has kindly sent us photo's of this set produced for the British Army.

Re: Game of War Article and Photo's on Web Site
It's a really nice looking set, and the troop blocks go very well with the 19th C UK Ordnance Survey maps.
The large number of game pieces in the set suggests that games could be run up to corps level, using individual battalions, squadrons etc as manoeuvre-units. That's larger than our normal Reisswitz detachments games, which are usually set at brigade or division level. When we do corps or army-level kriegsspiels, we tend to use brigades as manoeuvre-units.
Thanks to Bé for providing the article & phots.
