The Battle of Cannae was a key engagement of the Second Punic War between the Roman Republic and Carthage, fought on 2 August 216 BC near the ancient village of Cannae in Apulia, southeast Italy. The Carthaginians and their allies, led by Hannibal, surrounded and practically annihilated a larger Roman and Italian army under the consuls Lucius Aemilius Paullus and Gaius Terentius Varro. It is regarded as one of the greatest tactical feats in military history and one of the worst defeats in Roman history, and it cemented Hannibal's reputation as one of antiquity's greatest tacticians.

Time: AM Gamemaster: Timothy Greene Ruleset: Counting Coup & Cutting Horses Scale: 28 mm Max Players: 6

Since the 1800's the Cheyennes and Arapahos had been moving south from Wyoming and Montana into Kansas and Colorado, pushed out of the Black Hills by the Crows and drawn by the immense horse herds and year round buffalo hunting of the southern plains. By 1826 they had reached the Arkansas River, the northern range of the Comanches and Kiowas. Parties of young Cheyenne and Arapaho braves would set out, on foot, in search of Comanche and Kiowa horses. One such party set out in the spring of 1837 despite the fact that the renewal of the tribal medicine, a bundle of sacred arrows, was incomplete. Impatient to set out, they whipped the keeper of the arrows, White Thunder, to make him perform the renewal ceremony. Despite portents of disaster due to the arrows not being renewed properly and even dire warnings from their Arapaho allies who had just finished their own sun dance thirty eight Cheyenne Bowstring Society warriors and four Contraries slipped out of the Cheyenne camps on foot.

They were cornered by Kiowas under Satank and by Comanches and were rubbed out. News of the disaster reached the Cheyennes through their Arapaho friends who had been visiting the Kiowa and Comanche camps to trade and saw scalps they recognized during a Kiowa scalp dance celebrating their victory over the Cheyennes. The grieving Cheyennes sent runners, including Porcupine Bear, to all the bands of the tribe. They also gave a feast for the Arapahos and persuaded them to join in punishing the Kiowas and Comanches. Due to the anger of the Cheyennes it was agreed no captives would be taken. One Arapaho warrior, Flat War Club, announced he was giving his body to the Cheyennes, meaning he would not come back from the fight. ‍
When all the Cheyenne bands had assembled they and the Arapahos moved south as tribes, with their families, hunting for Kiowas and Comanches. They encountered a large Kiowa camp along Wolf Creek, a tributary of the North Canadian river. One band of Cheyennes under Porcupine Bear, who had been outlawed for murdering a fellow tribesman, killed thirty one Kiowas out hunting buffalo while the remaining Cheyennes and Arapahos charged the Kiowa camp. Fierce fighting continued all day as bands of Comanches and Apaches (Kiowa Apaches) came up to reinforce the Kiowas from nearby camps. The Cheyennes and Arapahos made repeated massed charges.

Towards evening the northerners, revenge satisfied, withdrew. Stunned by the ferocity of the assault the Kiowas and Comanches were content to let them go. Each side had lost many warriors in the fighting including some prominent men. One source states the Cheyennes and Arapahos killed fifty six Kiowa, Comanche, and Apache warriors in the fighting losing just fourteen of their own.

The tribes would make peace in 1840 with the Kiowas and Comanches ceding the buffalo ranges along the Arkansas to the Cheyennes and Arapahos. Wolf Creek was the largest inter tribal battle on the Plains.

Kriegsspiel is a military training exercise that emphasizes realism and fog of war.  It is played double-blind with three tables and maps; one for the umpire, and one for each opposing team.

Players DO NOT NEED TO KNOW ANY RULES.  Rules are secret.  This forces players to focus on tactics instead of mechanics.  This game is still played by the military today to train officers.

The International Kriegsspiel Society runs Kriegsspiel Games weekly on their Discord server, and daily by post.

For more, check out the Little Wars TV group’s participation in an International Kriegsspiel Tournament on YouTube: https://youtu.be/hQuiv1Ln7-4?si=IJDOJ1JTdwsh6Kso
