Cuius Regio explores the operational military aspects of this pivotal period in European history and focuses on the maneuvers and battles that shook Europe for three decades.

The game’s scenarios reflect the military activity of the European powers who fought in the Holy Roman Empire during this time in pursuit of a range of diplomatic, religious, and political goals. The many military operations had a devastating impact on the economic and social well-being of the people across the continent. In large part this was because the Thirty Years War, particularly in the Holy Roman Empire, was mainly a war of maneuver. Armies moved to gain, or regain, control of territory, influence negotiations, or convert the people. The large numbers of mercenaries and the rudimentary supply systems only enhanced the widespread devastation.

Cuius Regio is played on an operational-strategic scale. Each turn covers one year, and each hex is approximately nine miles across. Infantry and Cavalry strength points represent approximately 500-1000 men each. Artillery is represented by Artillery Trains counters that can travel with armies to give advantage in battle and in taking cities. Each leader has a Leadership Rating that affects how many troops he can effectively lead and his ability to accomplish special tasks.
