- Play Kriegsspiel by watching this interactive video experience.
The International Kriegsspiel Society presents an interactive video experience for you! This video provides your introduction and briefing. At the end of this video, you will see a link to another video that explains the situation you face. You may then make your next decision by choosing between two new videos at the end.
There are three choices you will make overall.
Here is a copy of your briefing.
General Idea -You are in command of an advance force ordered to help clear a path for the main army, which expects to fight a decisive battle with the enemy in the next day or two. It is believed that victory in that battle will win the war for your side.
To perform your mission, you need to know the following:
Enemy occupies a strong point, which you are ordered to capture. They also occupy a forward position which you must overrun to again approach to the main objective.
Enemy forces consist of one reinforced brigade of infantry, consisting of three battalions and one half-battery of four guns. They enjoy the benefit of good defensive ground.
You control also one reinforced brigade of infantry with three battalions and one full battery of eight guns.
There are reports from scouts that the enemy has rallied a second brigade from their reserve, and they are marching to the strong point to reinforce it. Should they arrive, your mission will become almost suicidally difficult, and you are unlikely to succeed. Therefore, there should be some urgency in your movement. However, hasty attacks and rapid movement also have the effect of tiring and disrupting your troops, making them less effective in combat.
And remember, this is a Kriegsspiel exercise. You are in command, but not control!
A NOTE: In the video I mention three decisions and four outcomes. This has been edited down to two decisions and two outcomes. However, you will still find the experience compelling. Longer battles will come soon.

I loved the initiative. I hope to see more of these coming! A little historical introduction, even if ficticious, would help to get more involved into this.
I like rushing troops into the cover of the town with the hopes of splitting the defense. Keeping the forward defenders occupied with a pinning force while committing your main force to breaking the defenders main position before reinforcements arrive.
A CYOA video series, very novel 💯
Out of curiosity what would be the effect of rushing, one battalion into the town, threatening the main enemy position, one battalion into the woods to the right of the town, curving the march to avoid flanking fire, and threatening the secondary enemy force's line of retreat to the main position, and the third battalion up along the road to the right along the ridge, in a more obvious flanking move on the sunken road
I have read the description. I need no more information. Orders: "I continue to attack"
