@jayles:
"fuer den Fall(e), dass.." is right. Or, one can say "falls" or "im Falle". So, "in case it rains" >> "falls es regnet".

About "Kriegspiel": The point was that "Krieg" is not foreign to English.
About "try": Anglo-Norman/Old French trier

"campfield" (battlefield) could be confused with a campground"
Why not 'fightfield', 'warfield' (war is actually a Germanic word (Frankish *werra), where 'battle' is straight up Latin from 'battuālia'), or 'kriegfield' (English already uses kriegspiel)?

@jayles: "I always take my brolly with me in case it rains".
Well, I take it that you are just looking for an unusual word for "brolly", since you likely know how build the rest of the phrase.
Instead of Schirm or Regenschirm, one could say "das Regendach" or, even funnier, "die Musspritze".
Hope this is what you seek. Cheers!
