That's awesome! What a massive game. How long did the game last? How do you think it handled Pike & Shot tactics? Thanks, John |

Very nice; looks like more troops than you say… which is a good thing! |

Very nice and whetted my appetite for getting the rules. |

Nice looking game! Did you like the rules? |

Thanks for your comments everyone.
My first impression of the system is a good. Most importantly we all enjoyed the game which lasted approximately six hours; the mechanisms were easy to learn and the rules themselves are clear enough on all the important points.
As far as I am able to tell within my limited experience of actual pike & shotte warfare they handle the niceties of combat between the various elements very well and until Messrs Wallenstein & Adolphus turn up and laugh at me I will stand by that statement.

Thanks for the report – I was ordering them from Amazon, until they e-mailed us all to say they wouldn't have them! Got to pick up a set soonish and dust off my old TYW armies from back out of the loft. |

This looks majorly impressive. I'm having certain reservations against playing TYW in 28mm (just my personal preference) but at this scale it looks beautiful. :) |
