All of these periods are very interesting and would fit within the COGEE system.

The cover applies to the 1700-1740 game, and shows how appealing this subject could be. Many people are familiar with Marlborough's campaigns, Peter the Great and the Great Northern War, etc, so this is more of a mainstream topic than the others.

I would happily buy such a game.

I share Barbarossa2's concern about Prussia in a Seven Years War game. Prussia just does not have enough provinces to survive against all those enemies.

By the way, I found a series of three videos on YouTube where someone has posted the battle of Poltava segment of a recent Russian movie about it.  It's interesting to see, as I have not seen a depiction of the battle since the "Peter the Great" TV series in the early 1980s.  It's good to see this period in history doesn't get too neglected.
