Defeat Prussia before the Tsarina dies! Or be Frederick the Great and struggle for survival with a mixture of courageous willpower, sudden inspiration and stoic patience.

It is the summer of 1756. On the eve of the Seven Years War, half of Europe has formed an alliance. Frederick the Great is in deep sorrow: Is the annihilation of Prussia planned? Is it Prussia's defeat or is it Prussia's glory?

All against one. But only one will reign supreme. On a map of Old Europe, players maneuver their generals from city to city.

8 Redesigned Army Sheets
Friedrich.pdf
Eliminate the symbol laden, virtually indecipherable, twin language army sheets with a clean EZ-Read format designed for 8.5 x 11" paper. Gone is the guess work of what is that and how do I assign this. In addition, cards in hand text has been redeveloped to show at start and after the event.
