Koniggratz 66 (engl.)

Description

Three years after Gettysburg, a similar epic battle occurred in Europe — The Battle of Koniggratz. It was on this battlefield on July 3rd, 1866, that the Kingdom of Prussia fought and beat the Austrian Empire in the decisive battle of the Austro-Prussian War. Their victory would lead to Prussia becoming the dominant kingdom over the independent German states and within 5 years would create and lead the German Empire.

Koniggratz ’66 is a 2 to 4 player game on that decisive battle. The scale is battalions/regiments for infantry and regiments/brigades for cavalry. The battlefield and forces engaged were twice the size of the largest American Civil War battle, so two maps at a scale of 400 yards per hex are required.

The game is intended to be an easy game to learn and play but large enough so players will learn the details of the battlefield as well as the weapons, tactics, and maneuvers that succeeded or failed.

The game includes two main scenarios covering the initial action in the morning and the full day scenario. It will also include an introductory scenario, a retreat scenario, and a“what if” scenario that gives theAustrian player more freedom with his reserve corps.
