The Friedrich FAQ is available as a PDF download in
English and
German.
The FAQ includes errata for the 1st edition, and answers numerous questions regarding the rules. Sample questions
include: How is one game turn executed exactly? What is the sense of RESERVE’s value being variable;
in what situations is it good to choose different value than 10? Is Prussia allowed to re-conquer objecitves,
which are currently controlled by France AND which are situated in Hanover? The rules say that you are not
allowed to conquer objective cities on a retreat; are you, however, allowed to retreat through them? Do you
use depot cities like supply train for supply purposes? If Card of Fate calls for the removal of
general from the game, is he really out of the game?

2-Player Scenarios are available as a PDF download in
English,
French and
German.
Although Friedrich only shines in its full glory when played with three or four players, 2-player scenarios have been
devised both as introductory scenarios for players new to the game, as well as to provide a way to enjoy Friedrich
when there are only two players present. The first of these scenarios is "The War in the West" which depicts the French
campaign agains the Hanoverians and the Prussians. The second scenario is "The Austrian Theatre", which
depicts the Austrian and Imperial campaign against Prussian in Silesia and Saxony.
