January 24th was Frederick the Great's birthday. We therefore did a Seven Years war game at our club.
Would he be victorious? The write up is on my blog at this link
Enjoy! |

Thanks Robert! Actually, after the game Lawrence suggested we check the packs of brigadier chits we both use as I have been getting such an awful mix of them for quite a few games, and guess what, apart from one average quality brigadier (out of 40 chits), the decks were identical! Its not just the dice that are out to get me…!!! |

Thanks FdG! I have no doubt my version will bounce back. Recently, I have had to remind myself of what the Kuirassier said after Kolin, " Here, drink your Majesty and let battles be battles."
