Watch “FREDERICK the GREAT - AVALON HILL 1982 - Is it a Classic?,” a board game video on BoardGameVideo.

Description provided by Aaron Plays on YouTube:

FREDERICK the GREAT - The Campaigns of the Soldier- King 1756 t0 1763 AVALON HILL 1982 version. A first look at the game where I go through what is in the box and ask IS this a Classic? If so WHY? I do want to play at least one of the scenarios and I ask YOU which would be the best of the seven included in the box. Frederick the Great is an operational level wargame on the Seven Years War between Frederick the Great's Prussia (and allied Hanover) and the anti-Prussian coalition consisting of France, Austria, Russia and a host of European countries. There are seven scenarios, each covering one year of campaigning. The game consists of a map covering most of central Europe, rules and counters depicting the important leaders and generic strength points representing armies. Wargames old and new. Throw in some board games, card games and the occasional roleplaying game. I play most games solo though some are opposed Playthroughs. The games are also explained, discussed and reviewed. #Wargames #Board Games #Play Throughs #Reviews #Wargame Musings
