Dragoon: The Prussian War Machine gives you control over the mighty armies that struggled across Europe in the Eighteenth Century. Over twenty scenarios featuring the battles of military genius Frederick the Great, including such highlights as: Mollwitz (1741), Prague (1757), and Kolin (1757). Well researched and highly accurate orders of battles and scenario maps. Variable scale. Turn lengths can run the gamut from representing several minutes to thirty minutes. Hexes cover from seventy-five to one hundred and fifty yards. Battles range in size from small, almost skirmish like actions, to massive battles that changed the very landscape beneath them and could be heard all the way to the Heavens above. Armies from Prussia, Austria, Saxony, and Bavaria, all rendered for historical accuracy, complete with waving battle flags and fully animated figures in both movement and combat. Combat units include Light Infantry, Musketeers, Grenadiers, Dragoons, Cuirassiers, Hussars, three types of artillery and three ranks of leaders. Leadership and morale are the linchpins of the system, with a strong emphasis on command and control. Units are activated by leader, ensuring each scenario has massive replayability as some leaders become heroes in a particular game, while others cower, waiting to be decimated by their betters. Various formations, such as infantry squaring for a cavalry charges, unit quality and morale, various disruptions (e.g. disruption through movement or through combat results), and much more. Fully featured scenario editor allows players to create their own scenarios. The editor supports the variable scales found in the game, allowing players to create the battle of their scale. For those wanting to play against something besides the challenging AI, the game supports hotseat play, live play over the Internet, and even PBEM.
