The SYW Battle Series (SYWBS) games are playable grand-tactical studies of battles of the Seven Years War. The series’ intent is to show how command operates on the battlefields, using the weapons and tactics of the period. The system emphasizes command & control and playability.

The games all share the following characteristics:
Scale = 200-220 m/hex (219-240 yrd/hex)
Time = 30 min/Turn
Counter = 1 Brigade, 1 Battalion, 1 to 3 Squadrons, 1 Battery, 1 Leader
Each unit's historical flag and uniform are displayed on Counters, Orders/organizational Displays, and Orders of battle (in Playbooks).
