Boardgames
Freidrich
- Histogame
This,
a representation of Frederick the Great's campaigns, is a cross between a
traditional wargame and what is commonly known as a "Eurogame"
(meaning it has a mounted map board and high production values without
complex and burdensome rules). This is a truly splendid game, a labour
of love (and it shows) covering much of Europe, from eastern France to
western Russia, and Austria to Sweden in the north. Complex no, subtle
yes; highly recommended.

Frederick
the Great
The
grandaddy of them all, long out of print, but a fine game despite the
lacklustre graphics and the somewhat dated CRT. Two versions are,
however, generally available on eBay - the original Strategy & Tactics
version (S&T 49) 1975, and the Avalon Hill 2nd Edition (1982).

Dragoon:
The Complete Battles of Frederick the Great
As
the title says, all of Frederick
the Great's battles in an MS Windows environment. There's a complete
online manual and best of all, it appears to be freeware.
