A quick video tour of the General Staff Black Powder Wargaming System. Not sure why, but the video does not capture ‘pop-up’ windows (that show unit strengths, positions, etc.).

Oh my God THANK YOU! This is all I ever wanted out of a wargame! It will be on steam soon right?
We’re working as hard as we can. It should be on Steam sometime this year. Thanks for the interest, it really means a lot!
The OOBs for Age of Rifles are pretty detailed. I can’t vouch for their historical accuracy, though. I have been giving some thought on how to get the curve needed for the weapon profiles. In that game it is handled “under the hood” so to speak, but I think I could get an approximation.
Anyway, I will buy this game once it is available, and will try my hand at using the scenario editor. Will there be an online repository for user created scenarios?
I certainly hope that hundreds of scenarios become available. The General Staff Wargaming System makes it easy to create scenario. As always, it’s the RESEARCH that takes forever!
The game looks great so far.
With regards to Kroger’s Age of Rifles, I have about 800 scenarios for that game. It may, or may not, be easy to convert those over to this platform. The maps would be ugly, though; all hexagons.
The quality of the maps is very important to me. Also, detailed OOBs.
Looks great. I like the option to choose modern text.
I like to give people lots of options.
Looks fantastic sir!
Thanks! Feel free to email me directly if you have any questions.
This looks great. I loved Norm Koger’s Wargame Construction Set III: Age of Rifles (I was a playtester). Your game looks like his game on steroids. Very much looking forward to purchasing it. Please keep up the good work.
I never saw this; just the original Wargame Construction Set back in the ’80s.
Hot dog! When will the Steam Page launch? I’m adding this to my wishlist immediately!
Probably 4-5 months. I still have to build out the Steam site and much more.
It looks great.When will it be on sale？Will it on steam?
It will be for sale on Steam. Early backers (Kickstarer & Indiegogo) should start playtesting in about 3 months.
