Welcome or welcome back to Siege Works Studios first of many Horse and Musket eras called "Koenig Krieg". Koenig Krieg is a set of war game rules that represents the times of Frederick the Great King of Prussia; hence the name Koenig Krieg or Kings War in English. The time we are specifically looking at is the period from 1733 when Frederick was a young man, discussing tactics with The Holy Roman Empire's premier, but old, general, Eugene, all the way through to the end of the Seven Years War in 1763.
If you enjoy the history of this time where lace and luck, fire and fury dominated the continent of Europe specifically and the world generally then wargaming with Koenig Krieg is for you........
Siege Works Studios in an effort to be at the forefront of technology for this web site, is one of the first sites, after the big ones like Google Images, Flickr, etc, to implement a new way to view our photo galleries. We now have 5 galleries available for your viewing pleasure.
To see the gallery using the new technology you will need to download a "plug-in" for your browser. All major browsers, Internet Explorer, Firefox and Safari, are supported. Click on this link to Piclens, then click the download button and install the plug-in. Once the plug-in is installed, close your browser and re-start it, load this page, click on the gallery button on the top of the page and once the page loads click the "Start Slide Show" link on the bottom of the page. You can also start the slide show by holding the mouse over any thumb nail and clicking on the arrow button that will appear in the bottom left of the thumb nail. If you prefer not to install the plug-in you can still view the gallery and see a bigger view of each thumb nail by clicking on it as has been the normal procedure on web sites until now. Please post your comments of the new capability on the forum, good or bad, as we would like to know how you feel about using capabilities such as this as part of your Koenig Krieg online experience.
There are a number of new and interesting documents in the download area. They include:
