Has anyone attempted to use Black Powder rules for fighting Aztecs vs Spanish? |

seems like pike and shotte would be a better period fit. |

I do and actually, in my opinion, Hail Caesar is a better fit. There were no real pike units under Cortez. There may have been some pike units in the Peruvian civil war between Pizarro and Almagro during the Battle of Las Salinas. The Spanish never faced cavalry in the New World and the Toledo sword and adarga equipped Conquistadors provided the best infantry troop type to face the Aztecs and other indigenous armies. Again in my opinion, the Aztec tepoztopilli is better described under the long spear designation of HC than the pike rules of P+S. |
