Het Stratégisch Spel, Of Militaire Uitspanning

Wargame published in the Netherlands and Germany in 1819 for teaching military strategy. It was sold in a wooden box containing a rulebook, 2 dice, 52 rectangular wooden playing pieces representing military units, and an 18.5 inches square topographic map. Units move from crossroad to crossroad on the point-to-point map. Terrain affects unit movement and combat, and players also need to use their mobile magazines to provide supply for their army. The goal of the game is to capture the enemy capital. A player can also win by surrounding or eliminating a large enough portion of the enemy army. Combat is mostly deterministic with rules for how many of different types of units are required to successfully attack a position, modified by map terrain, but players under some circumstances roll the dice to resolve combats.
