BelloLudi Pikes Wargame 1530 1660

With this ruleset from BelloLudi, you can wargame battles in the period of 1530 to 1660. Renaissance warfare is a time when tremendous changes took place in the field of warfare, so much so that it is often called the 'Military Revolution'. In particular, the advent of gunpowder transformed the way in which armies fought on the battlefield, bringing more and more gunpowder weapons to bare. Massed troop formations slowly changed to more linear tactics; empires were forged, colonies were taken, and feudal warfare gave way to more national conflicts. All in all, this turbulent period is sure to provide some exciting battle opportunities for the discerning wargamer. These rules can be used for many types of conflicts: the English Civil War, the various Wars of Religion, the 80 and 30 Years’ Wars and many others. BelloLudi Big Battle games are designed for multiplayer battles using a large amount of miniatures. They are designed to be fast and fun and easy to learn for non-wargamers. BelloLudi designed these rules especially for team-building purposes.
