I have spent much of today preparing to play my new game of Kabinettskrieg. Fitting the 17 maps of northern and central Europe together was quite a task. After fitting together the jig-saw puzzle I thought I'd make a map key to help assemble the maps more efficiently in future. I decided to superimpose the game maps on a period political map of Europe, thereby showing the states of the Holy Roman Empire at the same time. Of course this 1789 map shows Silesia as Electorate of Brandenburg territory, which it became after it was taken by conquest from the Habsburgs (Austrians) in the Silesian Wars.

Fontenoy
Not content with adding the massive strategic game Kabinettskrieg to my collection, I also ordered Clash of Arms new tactical game: Fontenoy, named for the 1745 battle of the War of the Austrian Succession. I have long been a collector of Clash of Arms games, with their amazing graphics, maps and research. This looks like the best so far.
Clash of Arms has also announced a BAR (Battles of the Age of Reason) "primer" to help understand and learn the complex rules behind their game system. Well, that went in the shopping cart too. What can you do?
