Just got a copy of Compass Games' "A Pragmatic War" covering the War of the Austrian Succession 1741-48. Despite a few Deus ex machina game mechanics (primarly involved in Prussia's leaving and reentry to the war), this is a fascinating game of the strategic and operational issues facing both sides. Movement is governed by "Action" Cards, which determine how many actions a player may take, and "Event" cards that can trigger all sorts of things: Prussia leaves the war, Prussia enters the war; The '45.?
Also, a lot can happen in Italy and Savoy, which is interesting as it can suck up resources one might want to use elsewhere.?
Worth checking out. With the action and event cards, no game plays the same, although there are strategies to employ.?
