In 1758 the Siege of Louisbourg , Battle of Fort Frontenac, and Battle of Fort Duquesne took place #SevenYearsWar

Britain beats France, takes Canada… and goes broke doing it.
To pay the bill? They tax the American colonies.
Which, spoiler: leads directly to a revolution.
Winning isn’t free.

After a SYW battle this weekend, I left the figures out and dusted off Sam Mustafa’s Maurice rules, which I haven’t looked at in a decade, and they’re not bad! The cards themselves are works of art. #wargaming #SYW #SevenYearsWar
"Endgame At Lobositz".
This scenario was designed to simulate the last few hours of the battle of Lobositz between the Austrian and Prussian armies in the Seven Years War. The battle was fought twice in the IKS with both times being an Austrian victory. #Wargame #Battle #SevenYearsWar
The colossal expense of the #SevenYearsWar and the high-handed approach of British politicians led to the #AmericanRevolution.
