Description

The Battle of Prague is a classic wargame that drops you into the midst of one of the most pivotal battles of the Seven Years War. Published in 1980, this game has been a staple of the genre for decades, and its easy-to-learn rules make it accessible to new players. Designed by Frank Chadwick and Paul Richard "Rich" Banner, The Battle of Prague recreates the 1757 clash between the Austrians and Prussians just east of Prague, with players taking on the roles of these two opposing forces. With a playtime of 90 to 120 minutes, you'll have plenty of time to immerse yourself in the action, using dice rolling, grid movement, and other mechanics to outmaneuver your opponent. As a simulation of this historic battle, The Battle of Prague uses a hexagon grid to represent the battlefield, with players using movement points and line of sight to navigate and engage the enemy. The game's zone of control mechanics add an extra layer of strategy, as you'll need to carefully consider your units' positioning and movement to gain the upper hand. With its small format and 120 counters representing regimental size units, The Battle of Prague is a compact but intense wargaming experience that's perfect for fans of the Age of Reason and military history. Whether you're a seasoned gamer or just looking for a challenging and engaging experience, The Battle of Prague is sure to deliver.
