<p>
The 23 year old Maria Theresa ascends to the Austrian throne. Thinking of her
as easy prey, Frederick of Prussia invades Silesia and quickly conquers the
Austrian province. Only weeks later, Bavaria, France and Saxony attack as well,
and so the War of the Austrian Succession becomes general. But there is one
thing the attackers have underestimated: The strength of character and fierce
tenacity of the young Maria Theresa.

<p>
One player is Austria, the second is France plus Bavaria, while the third
player has the schizophrenic role of playing Prussia (Austria's enemy) and the
so-called Pragmatic Army (Austria's ally) at the same time.
