We recently go the opportunity to check out Battle Hardened Games premier game 1750. This is the first game by Jason Huffman and takes a theoretical conflict between the empires of England and France and allows players to fight it out over four theaters of war. What we really think is great about this game is the fact that it plays in about 30 minutes. It offers a deep strategic element too, which even in the prototype stage has us wanting to replay it.
If you are interested in the game feel free to check out the Kickstarter project which can be found (here).
