Description

The Seven Years' War on a global scale in two volumes. An operational level hex & counter wargame. The first volume, "War of Conquest", covers central Europe. The second volume, "War of Conquest: The Wider World", expands the game to the rest of the world. This is a two player wargame, but if you wish to play in two teams you can, dividing your assets as you see fit. The game can also be played solitaire because, although it uses cards, it is not ‘card driven’ as such.

The base game includes an A1 map of Middle Europe and features unit counters for all those that fight in the main European theatre of war at a regiment or brigade scale. The Wider World expansion adds four more A2 sized maps for Maritime Europe, Latin America, North America, and India, plus extensive named naval units, and numerous colonial units. The Wider World expansion adds naval rules including rules for movement between theatres of war. For the most ambitious players the expansion also includes the Global Grand Campaign that stitches together all theatres of war providing the ultimate bird’s eye view of a world at war.
