Its been years since I first came across the gridded medieval wargame, Siege of Bodenburg posted by Thor on his Armymen webpage but I've just come across this Franco-Prussian War gridded wargame designed by Henry Bodenstedt in the mid 60's, also posted by Thor:

More old Gridded Games
Born and raised in the suburbs of Montreal 7 decades ago. Began playing with toy soldiers at 5 years. Started painting & converting at about 12 yrs and wargaming about 15 yrs. Never really stopped.
5 years in the Black Watch of Canada Cadets, 5 years at the Collège militaire royal de Saint-Jean followed by 4 in the navy. 25 years with CPC in IT simultaneous with 23 years running a boarding kennel. Inherited my love of toy soldiers from my mother's father. Married with a pack of litle Italian Greyhounds and a cat. Prematurely retired and enjoying leisure to game, maintaining our 170 yr old farmhouse and just living.

ReplyDeleteI finally got around to posting links to your rule sets on the "Emperor vs Elector" group blog's "Websites of Interest" list.

Ross,
ReplyDeleteI also have a copy of Henry's WWII game of the Bridge at Remagen. I sent a copy to Bob Cordery awhile ago. If you're interested, I can send you a copy also.
