Shrapnel Games,
and Charles S. Roberts award winning developer Boku Strategy Games, are announced
that the second title in the Horse and Musket 2 series of pre-20th century
warfare, Prussia's Glory. It is available for the Windows operating
system and retails for $44.95 (you can purchase Prussia?s Glory in the StrategyPage Game Store for $35.95)
Prussia's Glory, like its predecessor, Dragoon: The Prussian War Machine,
allows gamers to digitally step into the boots of one of history's greatest
military minds, Frederick the Great of Prussia, as he waged war across central
Europe in the 18th century. Specifically, in Prussia's Glory you will
hear the thunder of cannons and smell the stench of blood and sweat on the
fields of Soor, Lobositz, Leuthen, Hochkirch, and Torgau. Each of these
famous battles is fully examined, having been meticulously researched as only
Dave Erickson can do, with a grand total of seventeen scenarios spread between
the five major battles.
Unabashedly turn and hex based, Prussia's Glory uses the foundation of its
boardgame roots as its basic strength. Command a wide range of units and
battle across winter fields and summer villages, either against the superb AI
or your fellow gamers through a wide range of multiplayer options, including
the always popular PBEM. The game system is grand-tactical in nature, and
uses a command activation sequence.
As a hearty thank-you for those who also own Dragoon: The Prussian War Machine,
you'll find an exclusive scenario, Action at Burkersdor 1762 included on the
CD. Please note that due to the modifications of the engine there is no
cross compatibility between Prussia's Glory and Dragoon: The Prussian War
Machine, and so the bonus scenario will not be playable with Prussia's Glory,
you must own Dragoon: The Prussian War Machine to reap its benefits.
