Which ruleset would you recommend, thinking in particular of the fighting in Europe? |

Sharp Practice, for forces from 40 to 100 or so per side.
Has the added advantage of covering the other theatres in a distinctive way (given the different troop types available). |

You might consider the Napoleonic supplement for Combat Patrol. It is not written specifically for the Seven Years War, but at the skirmish level, I think it will work for you. Other options are Sharpe Practice 2, GASLIGHT, and Brother Against Brother. Buck Surdu |

Sharp Practice 2, I would say. |

SP2 for the sizes Advocate suggests, and at a smaller level Song of Drums and Shakos is easy enough to port backwards a half century, I'm even taking it back to the ECW. |

If you are going to go down the the level of a few figures, Songs of Drums and Tomahawks is to rule set for FIW, so it might be a better port to Europe, such as Grenzers versus Turks. |
