About: Kriegsspiel

An Entity of Type: Thing, from Named Graph: http://dbpedia.org, within Data Space: dbpedia.org

Kriegsspiel is a genre of wargaming developed by the Prussian Army in the 19th century to teach battlefield tactics to officers. The word Kriegsspiel literally means "wargame" in German, but in the context of the English language it refers specifically to the wargames developed by the Prussian army in the 19th century. Kriegsspiel was the first wargaming system to have been adopted by a military organization as a serious tool for training and research. It is characterized by high realism, an emphasis on the experience of decision-making rather than on competition, and the use of an umpire to keep the rules flexible. After Prussia's impressive victory over France in the Franco-Prussian War, other countries swiftly began designing Kriegsspiel-like wargames for their own armies.

After Prussia's impressive victory over France in the Franco-Prussian War, other countries swiftly began designing Kriegsspiel-like wargames for their own armies. Most forms of Kriegsspiel involve at least two teams of players and one umpire gathered around a map. The map represents a battlefield. Each team is given command of an imaginary army, which is represented on the map using little painted blocks. Each block represents some kind of troop formation, such as an artillery battery or a cavalry squadron. The players command their troops by writing their orders on paper and giving them to the umpire. The umpire will then read these orders and move the blocks across the map according to how he judges the imaginary troops would interpret and execute their orders. The outcomes of combat are determined by mathematical calculations. (en)
  • À l’origine, le Kriegsspiel (« jeu de (la) guerre ») est un jeu de pions complexe développé par l'armée du royaume de Prusse au XIXe siècle pour enseigner les tactiques de combat aux officiers. Depuis, il s’est démocratisé dans des variantes plus ludiques qui sont devenues les jeux de guerre ou wargames. (fr)
  • Кригшпиль (нем. Kriegsspiel «военная игра») — настольная стратегическая игра, разработанная Георгом фон Рассевицем (нем. Georg von Rassewitz) в 1812 году и опубликованная в 1824 году; первая попытка создания реалистичной военной игры (в отличие от традиционных логических игр), «прадедушка всех варгеймов». В ней была применена концепция тумана войны, с помощью коробок, закрывавших части игрового поля от противника. Изначально действие происходило на карте района границы Франции c Бельгией. (ru)
