Re:WISHLIST - Seven Years War
Ah well for some reason I got a hankering for some bayonet and musket style warfare and looked up to see what MMG was doing and found my way here.

Re:WISHLIST - Seven Years War
This war is quickly becoming one of my favorites--so many possibilities as it was the first true world war.
I would think that any title covering this war, especially as it unfolded in North America, would have to somehow cover sieges and fortifications, which figure prominently in many of the major American battles: Ticonderoga, Quebec, Louisburg, Ft. William Henry. This should include field fortifications such as abatis, redoubts, and earthworks, which continued to show up well into the Revolutionary War (Saratoga, Brooklyn Heights, Yorktown).
Except for Age of Rifles (one of my favs) no game has adequately covered this aspect of 18th and 19th century warfare.
