Errata was published in S\u0026amp;T #159.\n\nFrom the introduction :\n\"Franco-Prussian War is a simulation of the Franco-Prussian War of 1870-71. One player assumes the role of the German high command, the other the French. The German objective is to defeat France, thereby unifying the various German states into a single nation. The French player's objective is, initially, to gain glory for the French Empire; failing that, it is to successfully defend France against a German invasion. Franco-Prussian War uses a new system to simulate the nature of 19th century warfare. The game system itself is simple, but it does have some innovative features to represent leadership, staff work, command\/control, effects of different weapons, and the ever-shifting sands of morale and politics.\"\n\n1 turn = 1 week\n\nOther games in the series were Austro-Prussian War (S\u0026amp;T #167); Russo-Turkish War (S\u0026amp;T #154) and Risorgimento (S\u0026amp;T #187).\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlayers:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlay time:\u003c\/strong\u003e 600 min\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eComplexity:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3.09 \/ 5\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDesigner:\u003c\/strong\u003e Joseph Miranda\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eYear:\u003c\/strong\u003e 1992\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Decision Games (I)","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":51924931150040,"sku":"SB-29B0E7B1DA68-BOARD-GAMES-UNK-SEALED","price":0.0,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0734\/6271\/0488\/files\/k34k49jcmemslu5m1viuilqka1c3.jpg?v=1785458031","url":"https:\/\/abbyboardwalkstore.com\/products\/the-franco-prussian-war","provider":"Boardwalk Cafe \u0026 Games","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
