Description

Prussia's Glory: The Battles of Frederick the Great is a wargame that lets you experience the thrill of battle in the Seven Years War. Designed by Bob Kalinowski and published in 2002, this game is perfect for 1 to 2 players who are familiar with board games and looking for a challenge that will keep them engaged for about 180 minutes. With its hexagon grid game mechanics, the game is set in the Age of Reason and allows players to take on the role of Frederick the Great, one of history's most renowned military leaders. The game features four iconic battles - Rossbach, Leuthen, Zorndorf, and Torgau - with short battle scenarios that stick to historical deployments, as well as main scenarios that let you explore alternate history. The rules are straightforward, with a simple turn sequence and low unit counts, but they still manage to capture the complexity of 18th-century warfare, particularly the importance of artillery. With a wide variety of ordnance at your disposal, you'll need to use your strategic skills to outmaneuver your opponent and emerge victorious. The game's attention to detail, from the 704 full-color die-cut counters to the 22"x34" full-color back-printed mapsheets, ensures an immersive experience that will transport you back in time to the battlefields of the 18th century.
