The expert on 18th-century armies, Christopher Duffy, shows why French, Austrian, and Reichsarmee soldiers, though often enough brave and skillful, marched to defeat, and how Frederick the Great, often unaware of the legend he was creating, won these famous battles. It is no longer left to myth, but to reliable accounts of hard fighting, quick decisions, and the fate of the soldiers and civilians swept up by the fighting. Reprint contains 216 Pages, 26 black and white illustrations, and 25 black and white maps. 1 vol, 216 pgs 2025 UK, HELION AND COMPANY

1-930352 Miranda, Joseph STRATEGY & TACTICS # 352: The French and Indian War The French & Indian War is a two-player wargame of the conflict between the British and French Empires for control of North America during the wider Seven Years War. Each player represents the high command for their respective forces in North America. There is also the possibility for intervention by American Indian and Spanish Imperial forces. The game has several scenarios, representing different starting situations.

Each game turn represents a campaign lasting one year. Each hex represents 85 kilometers (50 miles) across. Each regular unit represents one or two battalions or equivalent-sized groupings of companies/squadrons. Provincial and militia units represent regiments or brigades. Some of the light units represent detachments of one or more companies. Indian units represent groups between 500 to 2000 warriors. Commanders are key leaders, their staffs, and guard troops. Riverine units represent flotillas of boats.

1-247760 Dalgliesh, Tom, Grant Dalgliesh, and Bruce McFarlane ALLIANCE: Multiplayer Napoleonic Wargame A 1 to 7-player game of diplomacy and warfare in the Napoleonic Era... with a Columbia Block System twist. Play as Austria, Britain, France, Prussia, Russia, Spain, or the Ottomans. These major powers cannot survive alone, however. They require the assistance and support of neighboring countries, the Minor States. Even though the game is best with 3-7 players, the Minor States create added depth for the two-player game. Solo rules are included.

Players start each turn by receiving five cards and discarding one. Afterward, they take turns playing a card, moving and building units, and conducting combat operations if necessary. When leaders are played, a political phase occurs in which the major powers make diplomatic plays for the Minor States. Players can forge alliances lasting a year or more, with various conditions in effect: gold tributes, border disputes, non-aggression pacts, etc. By default, the winner is the player with the most Victory Points in cities by the game's end.1 vol, 1 pgs 2025 US, COLUMBIA GAMES
