Frederick the Great (1975)

Frederick the Great is an operational level wargame on the Seven Years War between Frederick the Great's Prussia (and allied Hanover) and the anti-Prussian coalition consisting of France, Austria, Russia and a host of European countries.

There are seven scenarios, each covering one year of campaigning.

The game consists of a map covering most of central Europe, rules and counters depicting the important leaders and generic strength points representing armies.

Frederick the Great was originally published by SPI in 1975 as an insert game in issue #49 of the Strategy & Tactics magazine. It was republished in boxed format in 1982 by the Avalon Hill Games Company.
