The Seven Years War (1756-1763) Reviews

I ve played all strategy games that are worth playing: Total Wars Hearts of Iron Company of Heroes Steel Division SGS Series Victoria Crusader Kings Europa Universalis and many many more... This game is the greatest ever warlike strategy simulation. -No bullshit turns, real time strategy where everything goes slowly as it is supposed to in the 18th century -Every battle is like a fucking war painting of the era (and you can manage which units to run on AI) -AI is very challenging but not too difficult, just realistic, as it must be for the game to be pleasing to play I began my first game with France where I declared war on Austria and subsequently England joined the war against me. In Europe I invaded Austrian Belgium where in a series of Battles and sieges I managed to kick out the Austrian coalition armies (Austrian, Holy Roman Empire, Bavaria, Hanvoer etc) In the American theater where I begin with only on field army small in size I have to defend my colonies. The redcoats tried to first take Montreal but we repelled them quickly having barricaded my small army in the hills outside of the city. The Brits entering the town burned it to the ground while we stand watching the view of the smoke. When trying to exit from the Western part of the city, my French muskets opened fire and the harmony of the cockloaded guns echoed the death of the first redcoats of the war on the streets of Montreal. A fierce battle continued as they tried to capture the hills but through artillery fire (of only 1 garrrison cannon) and continuous disturbances from my cavalry regiment, the day was ours and the Brits were forced in hastly retreat. The Anglo French War on the American theatre had begun with an epic victory for the French forces. During the next month my army garissoned Montreal while the British raided and plundered my colonies. At last, a British army began sieging Quebec, and so the French army left Montreal to relieve the siege, which it did only after the Brits had burnt part of the city. 10/10 It is like playing Barry Lyndon
