  1. wallenstein

    Wallenstein, born Albrecht Wenzel Eusebius von Wallenstein, was a Bohemian military leader and politician during the Thirty Years' War (1618–1648) in Europe. He became known as the Duke of Mecklenburg and was a leading commander of the armies of the Holy Roman Emperor Ferdinand II. Wallenstein became known for his strategic military techniques and his ability to fund his armies. His power and influence, however, became a threat to the emperor and led to his assassination in 1634. The term "Wallenstein" could also refer to any of the dramatic works written about him by Friedrich Schiller.

  1. Wallenstein

    Wallenstein is a medium-weight German-style board game designed by Dirk Henn and published by Queen Games in 2002. Though set during the Thirty Years' War, Wallenstein should not be confused with a complex wargame. Rather, it has the feel of a light strategy game with the familiar Euro elements of area control and resource management mixed in. As such, it has a wide range of appeal that attracts wargamers and non-wargamers alike.

The Nuttall Encyclopedia
