About this board game

Prussia’s Glory II: Four Battles of the Seven Years War, 1757–1759 is a grand tactical wargame for 1–2 players, with scenarios designed for games playable in a single sitting of about 90 minutes.

Set during the Seven Years War, this GMT title presents four historically themed battles: Prague: Last Day of the World, The Golden Sun of Kolin, Krefeld: Ferdinand Ascendant, and Inferno: Kunersdorf. The system continues the original Prussia’s Glory design with slight changes and a range of optional rules that add further distinctions between combat arms.

Optional features include Austrian Croat sniper attacks, howitzer fire, and advanced cavalry facets. Each battle also includes one or more variants, allowing players to explore possibilities involving larger or smaller forces, as well as alternate-history situations that reverse the attacker and defender roles on the same battlefields.

  • Four battles covering actions from 1757 to 1759
  • Prussian, Austrian, French, Empire, Saxon, Russian, and Hanoverian-Allied units
  • Optional rules for additional tactical detail
  • Variants for altered force sizes and alternate histories
  • Complexity rating: 4.5; solitaire suitability: 8

The game expands the series’ visual presentation with Hanoverian-Allied units, including new heavy dragoon cavalry and a distinctive red-dominant color scheme. Prussia’s Glory II may also serve as a tactical complement to GMT’s strategic, card-driven treatment of the European Seven Years War, Clash of Monarchs.

The package includes 792 full-color die-cut counters, two full-color back-printed mapsheets, an 18-page rulebook, a 14-page scenario and playbook, two player aid cards, and two six-sided dice.
