Pike & Shotte

The Thirty Years War ravaged whole countries, as the first truly national armies marched over Europe. Meanwhile, Royalists and Pariamentarians fought for control of the nation in the English Civil War.

Grand divisions, Tercios and wings of cavalry are yours to command, led by men of honour whose names are still remembered today.

Pike & Shotte is our rulebook covering Tudor warfare, the Thirty Years War, English Civil Wars, Italian Wars, Tudor Wars in the British Isles and War of the Grand Alliance.
