Push-of-Pike – Wargames Rules for 1639-1660 by Craig Burnett. previous TMp on rules I use an out of print rules from Australia…yup across the other pond, called, "Push of Pike". Push-of-Pike came out in July 1992. The basic concept of the rule set is different from what is considered "normal" in wargaming rules. There are no mathematical tables, where a player can safely determine the outcome of an action before it occurs. The card operated game system-for the most part- ensures that for the bulk of the game, players will not even know in what order the action takes place. Here's what the cards look like: For 15mm figures, one figure represents 10-20 actual combatants. One artillery piece represents 2-4 actual guns. The ground scale, one inch represents 20 yards of real ground.

Push of Pike sounds similar to Victory Without Quarter a free pdf set that can be downloaded, it may be based on P-o-P which I've never seen. |

Have a look at our set, For King and Parliament, which is aimed at big battles rahter than skirmishes. Although often played in 28mm, I've seen it gamed in 6mm, 10mm, 12mm, 15mm (and a chap is working on 54mm). There's a useful (and independent) review of it here: link |

For King and Parliament De Bellis Renationis (played at 'condensed' scale – perfect fpr large battles) |

I would recommend Pike & Shotte Rules. Hope it helps. As always, comments are appreciated. Take care Andy |

I Lliked 1644 for big battles, they move along swiftly. The musketry seems rather over-powerful as I think they were originally an eighteenth century ruleset, but I suppose this speeds things up. |

Twilight of Divine Right definitely worth a look; specifically written for big battles of Thirty Years War and ECW. Available from Pike and Shot Society |
