Death of the King - TYW AAR
« on: December 11, 2015, 05:44:07 AM »


God morning

About two weeks ago i had my co-authour Dan Mersey here in stockholm for a visit we had a couple of days of museum visits, swedish history, some beers and of course some gaming and playtesting of our upcomming The Pikeman´s Lament rules.

For Dan´s visit I put toghether a special swedish thirty Year war scenario revolving around the Death of the Swedish King Gustav II Adolf at The Battle of Lützen, 6 November 1632.

You can read a bit about the game and see more pictures at my blog.

Have a really good day !

Best regards Michael

Thanks for sharing, another great report.
"Peace" is that brief, glorious moment in history when everybody stands around reloading.

Great idea for a game. I like the idea of taking a snapshot from a larger battle and making it the focus for a scenario. Too bad the King died (again).

Excellent AAR Michael and great fun too.

Good of tactical acumen on the part of Dan to (deliberately?) kill off Adolfus too ;) :)

Darrell.
