This game is a basic Kriegsspiel kit in a box. You will have everything you need to play a game of Kriegsspiel: a map and counter sheet for the umpire and two players, along with a very basic resolution system.
This game benefits from hundreds of hours of face to face and online playtesting, with the system refined to allow an experienced umpire to launch and complete a simple scenario in just over an hour.
The scenario book runs scenarios across time: while most of the scenarios focus on the 19th century, it also shows how to run modern skirmishes (WW2) while allowing ancient battles as well (Alexandria versus the Persian Empire).
Paul (the designer) is starting to post his AARs from online play on the Armchair Dragoons. Here's the most recent example:

Here's a long video from Connections online where Paul explains how he uses the system to play Kriegsspiel online using Discord:
