This gentleman used to run Nine Years wargames at Historicon some years back, I know, I played in a couple. Here is his blog: link You could ask him – he used to have them somewhere on his website years ago. |

I find Pike and Shotte work well |

Donnybrook for skirmishes. The Pikeman's Lament for small encounters. Beneath the Lilly Banners for larger battles. |

Might and Reason, with the free WSS module, would work well. |

Thanks for the answers, some reading and searching to do in the new year! |

The Twilight of the Sun King rules and scenario books containing many Nine Years War historical battles are available from the Pike & Shot Society – pikeandshotsociety.org These rules are for fighting large historical battles. |

I'll second Twilight of the Sun King: definitely for bigger games, but very good, once you get used to some of the concepts. |

Another vote for Twilight of the Sun King. I have played several of the 9YW battles over the last few years. The rules work well for larger battles, although I have run Aughrim a couple of times.
Units are "brigades" representing around 2000 infantry or 1000 mounted troops, but the game can be played at a "regimental" level with units representing half of those numbers.
There is no calculation of fire or melee, everything is rolled up into a moral resorption, which takes account of the situation a unit is in.
If you are used to conventional rules, ToTSK may require some adjustment to your thinking, but it is well worth while in my opinion. |
