"The Pikeman's Lament " Topic

"The Pikeman's Lament is a skillful adaptation of the popular, Origins Award-nominated Lion Rampant skirmish rules. Where Lion Rampant focuses on bringing medieval combat to life on the tabletop, The Pikeman's Lament is aimed at re-fighting battles in the 17th Century (broadly 1611-1721). Among the conflicts from this period are the Thirty Years War, the English Civil Wars, the Franco-Dutch War, the Great Northern War and the Wars of the Spanish Succession.
Written as a collaboration between British Lion Rampant designer Daniel Mersey and Swedish Lion Rampant demonstrator and pike and shot gamer Michael Leck, the two authors combine the simplicity of the original medieval rules with an authentic feel for pike and shot battles. While the core rules are largely consistent with Lion Rampant, new troop types, additional special rules, scenarios and a small campaign system provide plenty of period flavour and ensure that The Pikeman's Lament is its own game."

I am looking forward to it.

From the Comments section:

If it is an unmedieval as lion rampant(ie Hollywood medieval_ then I expect to see rules for plastic swords and fibreglass armour as used in the splendid evocation of the 17th century- the Film Cromwell!!

Both it and Lion Rampant might be incredibly accurate representations of medieval warfare but we will never know…

I say sir -Cromwell wasn't the product of Hollywood -a British film damn your eyes.

Is it To Play skirmish or is it To Play Battles?

It looks like it's deliberately pitched at the fuzzy intermediate zone between the two, Pipers.

Ah yes, the warm, comfortable zone in gaming!
