Honours of War
This artwork caused a ruckus on my forum Seven Years War Living History. The artist G. Rava posted it and someone said their coats would be buttoned across in cold weather and the artist got very upset.
Honours of War is a tabletop wargame simulating European battles of the Seven Years' War, using simple, fast-playing rules that emphasize historical tactics and command challenges.
The Seven Years' War was the pinnacle of 18th-century warfare, with dramatic campaigns and battles, famous leaders, and wide variety of colourful uniforms. Compared with the later Napoleonic Wars, tactics were simpler, armies more professional, and battles tended to be smaller. Using these quick-to-learn rules, players can bring this period to the tabletop, recreating anything from a small skirmish to a major pitched battle. Although simple, the rules allow for a wide range of tactics and reward historical play. That said, fog of war sometimes produces unexpected results and units don't always obey their orders! The game moves quickly, and players must be prepared to regroup and counterattack or to press home an advantage – a lot can happen in one move!
