The American Kriegsspiel is a book written by William Roscoe Livermore in 1879, which outlines a military strategy game that can be played using a topographical map. The book provides a detailed description of the game, including its rules, objectives, and potential benefits for military officers and strategists. The game involves two or more players who take on the roles of opposing military forces, and use the map to plan and execute their moves. The book also includes examples of scenarios and strategies that can be used in the game, as well as tips for how to use it effectively for training and practice purposes. The American Kriegsspiel was considered a groundbreaking innovation in military training and education at the time of its publication, and has since been used as a model for similar games and simulations in modern military training programs.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
