Well Kriegsspiel was developed for training and simulation, assuming their searching for the same thing they'd be a little put out by the most popular games I'd imagine.

But I bet that they would love to get some boxes of Napoleonic warfare miniatures to play Kriegsspiel.

>What would impress our distant forebearers the most about contemporary miniature wargaming?
The quality of the miniatures, the material many are made from.

>Which innovations catch their eyes? Does anything cast them into flights of delirium?
The fact that we can go to a magic box of wires and summon them from a factory hundreds or thousands of miles away.

Imagine if a wargame (rules + minis) representing modern warfare was sent back in time to a bunch of prussians, no explanations given.

Preferably the entire warhammer 40k range, that would be utterly hilarious.
