Kriegsspiel (literally meaning "war-game") is a Prussian strategic tabletop game which was invented in 1811 by the fantastically-named Lieutenant Georg Leopold von Reisswitz. It's over two centuries old, and from a time when being a "wargamer" meant being born into nobility, having a glorious non-neck beard, and enlisting in some Officers Korps to train to become an armchair general.

Reisswitz's ostentatiously named son: Lieutenant Georg Heinrich Leopold (or Rudolf?) Freiherrn von Reisswitz continued his fathers work and published an 1824 version, with a considerably expanded scope an ruleset.
