A NEW AGE DAWNS 2
By Brian Cameron and Bernard Ganley
Leeds Royal Armouries - 17 October 2015
The
game is concerned with the struggles between the major nation states
of the late eighteenth century at a time when the French Revolution
has brought sweeping changes to the world.
There are player teams for Britain, Spain, France, Prussia, Austria,
Russia and the Ottoman Empire.
Within each team the players take the roles of the heads of government and the most important ministers. The game is concerned with the diplomacy and conflict between these major countries and various non-played states within the limits of the resources of each country. They will have to balance the revenues they can expect with their expenditures on military and diplomatic matters, negotiate with the other countries and, if necessary, wage war.
The game will cover a period of 1793 to 1799 in annual turns.
Under the original title Dreams
of Empire we ran a number of games set in this period in 1990s.
In revisiting the period we taken the opportunity to update the game
design to a more streamlined system focusing on the characteristics
of the period and all the diplomatic and political options.
Game play will thus cover the development of strategies within the various
national teams, diplomacy between nations, military operations in the
event of war and peace-making at the end of one.
