Real-time multiplayer online Kriegsspiels

Post  King_Rufus on Fri Jan 20, 2012 12:01 pm

Just thought I should place here a cross-reference to the News section of the Forum – at http://forum.kriegsspiel.org.uk/f8-news - where important breakthroughs in playing Kriegsspiel remotely are taking place as at January 2012.

The new developments take the form firstly of Norbsoft Developments’ superb SCOURGE OF WAR series, presently confined to the ACW, and secondly of [French company?] Histwar’s LES GROGNARDS Napoleonic game. SOW permits very realistic 3D armies of 100,000 or more to take the field, on very large virtual battlefields, while Histwar reportedly permits the same.

Some excellent games of SOW have already been played online, using the most restrictive fog of war and view-from-the-saddle settings, and communication between officers restricted to courier messages, but Les Grognards is yet to be fully investigated and reported on this forum.

Forum users should note that there are two different forum topics covering computer Kriegsspiel – these are COMPUTER PROGRAMS under the Resources heading and COMPUTER MODERATED KRIEGSSPIEL under the Practical Kriegsspiel heading.
