Prussia's Defiant Stand

This historical wargame recreates Prussia’s struggle against Austria, France, Russia, and Sweden during the Seven Years’ War. Players maneuver leaders, infantry, cavalry, artillery, Cossacks, and fortress units across Central Europe, managing supply, sieges, fortifications, and the risks of winter campaigning. A card-driven system lets cards provide movement commands or modify combat odds, creating difficult choices each turn. Maneuver and positioning are central, while a Frictions of War table reflects the hesitation and indecision of allied commanders.
