"Black Powder" by Warlord Games. Excellent rules for this kind of game ...

How did you modify the rules for TYW?

How did you modify the rules for TYW?

Working closely with Warlord Games we had some of their drafts for the upcoming Pike & Shotte supplement for testing. Stats for all troops were adapted to fit their real performances on the battlefield in September 1634. We had special rules for the swedish new tactics to combine a cavalry regiment with commanded musketeers plus a battalion gun. The Imperialists got another special rule for mounted arquebusiers. All of the seven games we had for this battle had different outcomes - showing clearly the advantages and flexibility of the Black Powder rules.

That's gorgeous! I wish I could have been there.

Am I correct in saying that Black Powder only really works for large-scale battles? That seems to be the general opinion.

Thanks. Expect that we will have to wait for Warlord to release their TYW/ECW Variant as I assume you are not at liberty to disclose the details?
