Hello everyone,
Please, I am looking for a rule specifically for the SYW or the WAS but dating from before 1976, you don't know and you know where to find it? .Thanks.

Charles Grant's The War Game, 1972. Good for the WAS and SYW, and includes a campaign system and rules amendments for the WSS. |

I have a rule of Charles Grant from the same period and with the same title but published in 2012 by Ken Trotman Ltd in 2012.
Thank you, it's not for collecting, but I find that the game systems before 1976 are more
interesting because they are more outdated, etc… If you know of any others, please indicate it. |

Paskal, the 2012 reprint expands on the original and includes information from Brigadier Charles Stuart Grant (Rtd), the original author's son. I don't think you'll find an earlier version of dedicated WAS/SYW rules. Even Charge, mentioned by Dexter Ward, is more a Napoleonic set. |

Try Tricorne by Ken Bunger. That is from before 1976 I think. |

Koenig Krieg was written for SYW but it had a suppliment for WSS. Our group used to enjoy it a lot for WSS. |

Charge is definitely not a Napoleonic set. It has rules for light infantry, but no skirmisher, line infantry fight in line, there are no squares, and the all the pictures in the book are of SYW figures. It is an 18th century set for sure. |

OK, Dexter. I was going off a couple of other books' comments, Charge having eluded my hands for a few decades. That would make them the earliest SYW/WAS set, as they were out in the '60's (? I think). |

Charge! was published in 1967 |

Dexter Ward, great! All periods combined, you're the one who found the oldest rule! |

"Grosstaktik: Wargame Rules for Conducting Eighteenth Century Battles"; Leon L. Tucker, published by Guidon Games 1972. "Field Regulations"; John Grossman, published by TSR Hobbies 1976. Primarily intended for American Revolution, but with slight modifications for heavy cavalry would be suitable for earlier 18C. battles. |

Check out Final Argument of Kings charts and rules by Dean West on the Facebook site with same title. Great rule set! |
is a big fan of the Age of Sail, and these ships really speak to him - he loves transitional eras, and the Anglo-Dutch Wars was one of those.
