Glory & Honour - Army Level Wargame Rules & Campaign System for The Seven Years War in Central Europe (1756-1763)

The campaign game covers the Seven Years War in Central Europe (mainly Bohemia, Saxony & Silesia) during which Prussia fought a bitter and protracted war with Austria and her allies. The battlefield rules emphasise troop quality, ability of generals, role of light troops and the decisive effect of massed cavalry. Depending on the battlefield results and the occupation of key cities the Diplomatic Chart will influence the political stance of France, Sweden, Russia and the minor German States. These may add forces to one side or call for withdrawal of friendly forces to observe and deter these states.
