| Summary | "War-Chess, or the Game of Battle" by Charles Richardson is a strategic board game publication likely written in the mid to late 19th century. It resembles a blend of military strategy and classic board games, presenting a unique take on tactical gameplay. The book details the rules and mechanics of a game that simulates battles between two opposing armies, utilizing various military units like light infantry, cavalry, and artillery, aiming to secure strategic objectives such as a citadel. The content of the book elaborates on the game mechanics, explaining the movement and capturing capabilities of different military units, along with the strategies for both the attacking and defending sides. Players control an array of pieces representing various regiments, each with distinct movement patterns and powers. The objective revolves around capturing the opponent's citadel while defending one's own, demanding careful planning and tactical foresight. Through illustrations and detailed rules, Richardson emphasizes the importance of strategic cooperation between different unit types and the need for continuous attention to each move to avoid defeat.
