About the game

Bonus scenario N ° 6 (French magazine VaeVictis #156 (May-June 2021) This scenario is a bonus. It does not correspond exactly to the wars of Louis XIV, but concerns the future monarch because this event forged his character and participated in his absolutism. Casus belli: taking advantage of the weakness of royal power while Louis, the future Louis XIV, was still a minor, the parliament of Paris and the nobility (called the Princes) revolted at different periods and to different degrees against the regency ensured by Anne of Austria (widow of Louis XIII) and Cardinal Mazarin, hated by all. This weakening of France is a boon for Spain, still at war with France, to recover territories (Catalonia, Roussillon, the North of France). The kingdom of France represents the party of the Regent Anne of Austria, Cardinal Mazarin and the king's faithful (some military leaders move from one camp to another) and their allies (Duchy of Savoy, some German states, etc. .). Spain represents the party that brings together the princes as well as the various allies (other German states, Duchy of Lorraine, etc.); for simplicity this party is called the Coalition. —description from the designer
