En Garde rules

These rules might be suitable for skirmish gaming Bacon's Rebellion as suggested by Ray.

BP1500 - En Garde! - North Star Military Figures

En Garde! is a small-scale skirmish game based on the successful Ronin rules, in which small groups of warriors fight each other for honour or riches. Rather than just rolling a few dice, the rules allow players to make tactical decisions about how the models that they control will fight - offensively, defensively, or by applying special skills and abilities. En Garde! covers the conflicts of the 16th, 17th and early 18th centuries, when black-powder weapons started to become common in battle but martial prowess still determined the outcome.

Play as Border Reivers, Conquistadors, Landsknechts, Aztecs, French Musketeers, Caribbean Pirates and many more, in scenarios that evoke classic engagements of the genre. Sub-plots (secondary objectives for each side) have also been introduced, making gameplay even more varied and exciting. Simple campaign rules allow multiple scenarios to be played in sequence and permit warbands to develop over time. An appendix is also included to provide brief rules for supernatural creatures of the period - monsters, demons, revenants and witches - and new abilities and equipment to fight them, making En Garde! the perfect ruleset for gamers who want something a bit different from the norm.

 

New from Empress Miniatures (28mm)

 Todays release is something very different.

Civilian agricultural tools. These have been primarily designed for the 17th Century and can be used as general items or to arm pikemen across the range to make them engineer types , clubmen or badly armed recruits as seen in the early months of the war, notably Edgehill.

They are also useful in many of our other periods.

"Master of Command"

Save 10% on Master of Command on Steam

"Master of Command" is a tactical strategy game set during the Seven Years' War, where players manage armies, engage in real-time battles, and make critical decisions to lead their forces to victory.

Game Setting and Objectives

• Historical Context: The game is set during the Seven Years' War, a global conflict that took place from 1756 to 1763. Players take command of armies from various European powers, including Britain, France, Prussia, Austria, and Russia.
• Main Goal: The primary objective is to lead your army through a series of tactical battles and manage resources effectively to achieve victory in the campaign.

Gameplay Mechanics

1. Real-Time Tactical Battles: Engage in large-scale battles where players must consider factors like morale, stamina, terrain, and timing. Troops can break under pressure, and strategic decisions can turn the tide of combat.
2. Army Management: Players must equip and customize their regiments with historical weapons and gear that affect performance. Managing supplies and keeping troops fed and equipped is crucial for success.
3. Procedural Campaigns: The game features randomly generated campaigns, ensuring that each playthrough offers a unique experience. Players must navigate through fog of war and make decisions that impact their army's survival and effectiveness.
4. Persistent Unit Development: Units gain experience and can level up, which adds depth to the gameplay. Players must make choices that affect their army's long-term capabilities and morale.
5. Resource Management: Resources are scarce, and players must make tough decisions about when to advance, rest, or engage the enemy. Every soldier lost can have significant consequences for the campaign.
