Produktbeschreibung

The Seven Years War In Europe, 1756-1763

Clash of Monarchs lets two to four players recreate the titantic struggle that raged across Europe and the world, pitting Frederick the Great's Prussia and its Hanoverian allies against Maria Theresa's Coalition of Austrian, French, Russian, Saxon, Swedish, and Holy Roman Empire forces. Each player directs the effort of one or more of the major powers, plus their minor allies, using the card-driven operations and point-to-point movement system of many of GMT's most highly-regarded games. The cards help players enact Frederick's pre-war invasion planning, Austrian minister Kaunitz's diplomatic triumph in the 2nd Treaty of Versailles, the operational ascendancy of Prussian and Hanoverian light troops, formation of the Austrian General Staff, huge financial loans, court intrigue at Versailles, Vienna, and St. Petersburg, and dozens of other key political, economic, and military events. COM also uses split decks, which foster play of each power's events in two phases -- Early War (usually through mid-1758), and Wider War (1758 to conclusion) - and allow a multi-player game to use exactly the same rules as a 2-player contest. COM augments the CDG system with a Colonial Conflict sub-game, a fully-integrated treatment of light unit operations, and a Fortunes of War chit pull, which varies the occurrence and/or timing of events beyond players; control each year -- severe weather, desertion, attrition, possible deaths of English king George II, Empress Elizabeth of Russia, et al, and Madame Pompadour's political influence over the French commanders, to add further uncertainty and drama to the campaigns.

Yet COM's overall feel leans in a more traditional wargame direction; card events are important, but players - fates rest squarely on their operations in the field, using rich battle and siege subsystems. The armies are colorfully articulated, with line infantry strength points, and distinct line and light cavalry, field and siege artillery, and light infantry units. Over 50 leaders are rated for initiative, movement, and offensive/ defensive skills, and their willingness to drive their armies to endure horrendous combat losses. Forces clash in battles that are influenced by commanders - abilities, artillery strength, cavalry superiority, entrenchments, fortifications, supply state, and a wide array of over 60 Tactics chits, historically suited to each power and war phase. Players must accrue as many battlefield advantages as they can, but the wide variety of combat outcomes and effects always makes battles risky. Measured and Intense battle Combat Result Tables generate relatively light casualty battles between conservative commanders, and often severe losses when determined commanders like Frederick, Marshal Daun, or Marshal Saltikov face off. Sieges can become a subgame in themselves, dependent on fortress class, siege artillery, defensive commander, besiegers - supply status, and the lurking opportunities for quick Coup attempts (exhilarating when successful, bloody in failure). The Hanoverian and French players must also contend with each other overseas, using Royal Navy and French Fleet "home cards" in their efforts to gain the upper hand in America and India. These operations are abstracted on the Colonial Conflict Track, where success abroad can have significant effects on the enemy's treasury, will to fight, and ultimately Victory Points.

The war was characterized by intense light unit operations in both the strategic and tactical arenas; over 100,000 Hussars, Cheveaulegers, Freikorps troops, Croats, and Cossacks were in action by war's end, yet previous SYW games have virtually ignored these forces - critical impact. COM features a fully integrated "Kleiner Krieg" subsystem that effectively captures light troops and their brilliant (or notorious) commanders' effects on field operations and the enemy's supply lines and economy. Players use their light units on map to aid in Intercept and Withdrawal attempts, and increase friendly battle Tactics' chances of success -- or aid in thwarting enemy Tactics. When used in the three Kleiner Krieg Theater boxes (the German Empire area, the Border between Prussia/Austria, and the Northern areas along the Baltic coast), light troops can raid against enemy army supply lines, or ravage enemy domains. "KK" raids are crucial to wearing down a foe's economy and will to fight.
