The Campaigns of Frederick the Great recreates the incredible war of maneuver in which Prussia rose to the rank of first-rate power, and its warrior-king gained the title "Great". Fought between 1756 and 1762, the Seven Years War was one of parry and thrust, rather than frontal assault. In a period of shifting alliances and evolving military techniques, leadership was the key factor.
The Campaigns of Frederick the Great uses innovative command and combat systems, and an interactive game system, to mirror the subtleties of 18th Century Warfare. Features include troop commitment, cavalry pursuit, sieges, forced marches, and more. No game will ever be won by sheer numbers - only by skill.
