This is a simple and fast paced rule set to re-fight the battles of the Thirty Years and English Civil Wars with miniatures.

Gott mit uns!

They use an area system with the battlefield being divided into a grid of squares, this eliminates the need for measurement whilst creating the `Linie of Bataille` tactics of the period.

Any figure scale or basing system can be used with the basic game units representing Tercios, Infantry Brigades and Regiments of Horse.

The game is capable of handling the largest of the historical battles of the period in a matter of three or four hours.

I find myself drawn to the old school type of wargaming although I also like to see figures historically accurate. So not easy. But I do like archaic basing - I don't like the huge tummocks of vegetation that people put their minis on these days. Give me a rectangle of card painted green.

Boktips: Slaget vid Landskrona 1677

Slaget vid Lund 1676 blev det blodigaste fältslaget i nordisk historia. Hälften av deltagarna kom inte undan med livet i behåll. Men den svenska segern innebar inte något avgörande. Enbart de redan döda hade sett slutet på kriget. Den här skildringen tar vid där boken Slaget vid Lund 1676 slutar och beskriver hur krigets ursinne rasar vidare i Skåne, i Bohuslän, längs norska gränsen, till sjöss och med de hårda striderna i Tyskland. Slaget vid Landskrona sommaren 1677 kom att bli den största drabbningen på svensk mark någonsin och återigen stod utgången och vägde.
