“Ha!  I loved these when I first saw them.  Sure they look cool, but you can’t actually use them to play a game?  It would be too hard to control for moving pieces, right?    

Well, there’s one way to find out.  I tested them.

Boy was I surprised.   I won’t play without them now.  Soooooo much better.  No problem moving pieces around.  If you need to be precise, the trick is to hold the handle like a pencil rather than a sword.  Fantastic!”

There are lots of handy little features packed into this stick:

• Set to 100 paces for 8,000:1 Kriegsspiel scale.
• Common Infantry & Cavalry speeds marked for marching and attacking in action.  (trot & gallop)
• The moving block is sized to easily slide lines and stacks of 4 half battalion blocks at once, without dumping them all over!
• The short end of the block is approximately the range bracket for artillery shots.
• The long end of the block is approximately the range bracket for 6lb ricochet.
• Place the block flag down in front of an enemy piece while you move to easily see canister fire range.
• Use them as a back stop to roll dice against, so they don’t roll off the table.
• Makes an excellent pointer while doing a presentation.
• Very fun & intimidating to point at your opponent while speaking to them during a game.  =)
• Cat approved.  Be careful they don’t get chewed up!
