Real Time Wargames Gamebooks aim to inspire new and veteran wargamers alike with novel sets of rules for a variety of periods. The systems are adaptable to any scale between 2mm and 28mm.
This set of tabletop and campaign rules are designed to be used to represent the Wars of the Spanish Succession. There are two elements to the game: a campaign game using a set of playing cards, and the resulting figure battle. The former will give the latter its context, and players must be careful to judge that the fight is worth the candle, as the epitome of generalship was the avoidance of risky battles. If players wish, a simple system can be generated to create one-off battles, so that each battle is different or to get players used to the novel battle system.
This Gamebook contains:
- A brief summary of the period and details of the forces of the participants.
- A set of battlefield rules that can be used to recreate either the early or late period battles.
