Capstone Games has been doing a great job recently of working on historically focused games. Coupled with their fantastic production values and art department, they have come out with some really great hits! Our first exposure to their games was with 2019’s Watergate and recently we played a prototype copy of their newest offering called Fire & Stone: Siege of Vienna 1683. It was well designed, and very well produced with lots of wooden pieces representing field cannon, fortifications and improvised walls, and is a fast playing 2-player asymmetric wargame focused on the siege of Vienna by the Ottomans in 1683.
The game is currently being offered on pre-order from the Capstone Games website and you can pre-order a copy for $49.95 from the following link: https://capstone-games.com/board-games/fire-stone-siege-of-vienna-1683/

Great content, Grant. This is definitely a game I am keen to get my hands on and dive more into the history of.
What size would you guess those troop cards are? Tarot card sized (120x70mm)? Similar to the cards in Versailles 1919?

Not that big. Closer to poker cards.

Talk about getting it direct from the source. Thanks, Robert! This game design looks to be brilliant.
Does that leave the strategy and tactics cards being standard, as Handsome Grant put it, poker-card sized?
