    You can buy the game in several "flavors" very nice
    That guy on the cover sure gets around. A few posts up someone mentioned the French flag as being the modern one. Isn't the modern one the same one as the one used in the revolution? I think maybe from a marketing stand point, the French tricolor flag is more recognizable than the flag the monarchy used which I think would of been all white with several fluer de lys (sp) on it plus I think if that cover is exclusive to France, French players might prefer their flag over the previous royal flag, IMO.

    As for that German flag.....where is that one from?

    Well, as CA told us events don't happen automatically the french revolution is perhaps never going to happen, so the tricolourflag seems a bad idea. As the game starts as early as 1700 the white royal flag seems much more logical for France.

    As for Prussia i really can't imagine why those flag (box art) had been chosen. Perhaps Jack could enlighten us here. I've never seen a prussian flag with this colours.

    Well that isn't a Prussian flag, though the German box art has now been changed to have the Prussian flag on it.
