This is a modification of our earlier "The Sword and the Pike" rules which were a variant to Larry Brom's The Sword and The Flame Colonial rules set. This set is more of a "big battle" set of rules and "The Sword and the Pike" is more of a skirmish rules set with each man representing a man. in the early Renaissance period. Another set will address the later Renaissance "Musket & Pike" period. The Jackson Gamers have played various of Larry's rules sets for years. And freely admit to stealing many ideas from the talented Mr. Brom.
