I have not been able to locate a copy of the 1828 Supplement as it is quite the slippery weasel--even more so than the 1824 rulebook. Very Happy

I had to call in some big favours to get a copy of the latter and did not want to tax fortune by begging for any more. I hope to include more material on ancillary literature--incl. the Supplement (provided I find it)-- in a projected 2nd edition, depending on what my publisher has in mind.

Best Wishes,

YoY.

The 1828 supplement is here (ensure you are looking in Band13 as there is also Band14 for 1828)

One page is out of focus and there is no dice table (as far as I can see)

Having glanced through this whilst at the same time going through Bill Leeson's 1987 translation I get the impression that Bill's translation is true to the original.

Thank you very much for this. I will consider translating this as well in the future.

EDIT: I also found this...

http://www.archive.org/stream/zeitschriftfrku02unkngoog#page/n121/mode/2up

which has a poorer scan of the text, but a better scan of the tables at the very end. However, because the tables are apparently fold-outs, we are missing crucial information.

Does anyone know of another source for this book, but with the fold-out photographed in its entirety?

Can I ask as a newcomer, does this mean that you will be publishing the rules some time soon?

If so, will you be publishing support material like the maps or the scenarios that the Two Fat Lardies people produce? If so what maps are you planning to do? I would really like to get some blocks. Will you do them as well?

Here's an exctract from a kriegsspiel bibliography that Bill published many years ago, which indicates there is a copy in the British Library......

1828. Berliner Kriegsspiel vereins, Supplement zu der Bisherigen Kriegsspiel Regeln. Originally published in the Zeitschrift fur Wissenchaft Kunst und Geschielibe des Kriegs, 1828, vol. 13 (British Library ref.: pp 4021 d 1828).

Hope that helps
