Looking to get in to the period and am looking for rules suggestions. |

For Grand Tactical, I use Volley and Bayonet. Scenario books are available which cover most major battles on both fronts. |

Might & Reason. Written specifically for the period, has loads of scenarios, and the command and control system coupled with the unpredictable turn lengths makes for interesting tactical problems. |

agree with Might and Reason, also Twilight of the Sun King. (with minor modifiactions) |

Volley and Bayonet. I never tried Might and Reason but given my good experience with Maurice I think it would deserve a try. |

Another vote for Twilight of the Sun King. Each unit is a brigade and all combat is resolved as a morale test for each threatened unit at start of the turn. The only other action is a die roll for difficult moves (changing formation, charging, etc.) |

Might and Reason. Extra Crispy already gave the reasons why. My first go to SYW ruleset. Age of Honor is also fun and is an official Fire &Fury variant, if you like Fire & Fury. This will require more figures though and is geared to 15mm. I have 28mm. Unfortunately few people near me play it. |

Another vote for Might & Reason. Probably my all time favorite game system. |

+ 1 for Twilight of the Sun King.
Deceptively simple, yet requiring good planning, gave us enjoyable games with clear and plausible outcomes in an evening. |
