During the Easter holidays, Ann and I visited Stockholm. Yes, I know this is almost 2 months ago, but never late then never to publish some images that might be of interest to wargamers.
We visited a lot or art and history locations, and one of the stops was the Army Museum. As could be expected, a lot of focus on Swedish military history. Too much to show it all in photographs, but here are a few fun highlights.
 |
| A diorama of miniature soldiers showing formations from the Pike & Shot period. |
 |
| A close-up of that same diorama. |
 |
| A life-size display of Swedish cavalry charging during the Great Northern War. |
 |
| An old Swedish Kriegsspiel: "VinterKrigsspelkarta". |
 |
| Detail of the same Kriegsspiel. |
 |
| A German cypher machine - these machines always interest me as a computer scientist. |
 |
| An Engima machine ... Alan Turing and all that. |
Needless to say, we also visited the Vasa museum. I was very much impressed!
Really enjoyed your pictures, thanks for sharing.

I have a lot of the same photos but don't remember seeing the kreigspeil game. A lot of great museums and I really enjoyed my stay in the city. I wish I lived closer as I would definitely go again.
The Kriegsspiel was in the Army Museum, although don't remember exactly which section.
