Tabletop games

I am a tabletop gamer for the last 15 years now, playing a variety of games like "Flames of war" (15mm WW2 minis), Wings of Glory (1:144 scale WW1 aircraft models) and Victory at Sea (1:1800 scale WW2 naval minis). Recently I rediscoverd my interest in the "7years war" period, mainly the prussian wars of Friedrich II. "the Great". So it was was pretty obvious that I would start to collect miniatures for this time period. So I started with a small force of 15mm miniatures from the australian company Eureka, Prussians of course.

But because it is quite difficult to find other players in my area to play with and fight battles with, I discovered the "solo" fun of building and playing a nation of these 15mm prussians.

So a nation was born: the principality Marvingen-Löwenstein under its ruler Friedrich Georg von Marvingen (*1710).

It beginngs are set around the year 1740 and it is planned to play this for the next 25 years (game time), so to cover the times of the Silesian Wars and the 7Years War.
