Prussia’s Glory: The Battles of Frederick the Great

About this board game

Prussia’s Glory: The Battles of Frederick the Great is a two-player, 180-minute board wargame covering four battles from the Seven Years War.

Players recreate Rossbach, Leuthen, Zorndorf, and Torgau using a simple turn sequence and relatively low unit counts. Short Battle Scenarios use the historical deployments, while Main Scenarios allow the battles to unfold as alternate history.

The game features a Combat Results Table and Zones of Control, with rules that emphasize the role of artillery. A wide variety of ordnance gives the battlefield firepower a central place in play, while the one-hour turn and 500-yard hex scale frame each engagement at a detailed operational level.

• Four Seven Years War battles featuring Frederick the Great
• Brigade-level units, with some regiments and battalions
• One hour per turn and 500 yards per hex
• Short Battle and Main Scenarios
• CRT combat, Zones of Control, and varied artillery ordnance

The game includes 704 full-color die-cut counters, two full-color back-printed 22×34-inch mapsheets, a 32-page rulebook, two 11×17-inch player aid cards, and two six-sided dice. Map art is by Mark Simonitch, with counter art by Mark Simonitch and Rodger B. MacGowan.

With its focused scenarios, accessible turn structure, and attention to artillery, Prussia’s Glory presents four major battles in a compact historical game system. It was developed by Joshua Buergel, Dick Vohlers, and Andy Lewis.
