Pike & Shotte

A mass-battle miniatures ruleset for conflicts of the pike-and-shot era, covering the armies and warfare of the Renaissance and English Civil War periods. Players command units of painted soldiers, issue orders, and use leadership rolls to determine how effectively those orders are carried out. Turns proceed through three phases, supporting large battles that play in a reasonable time. The rules emphasize the character and spirit of the period over strict interpretation, with a streamlined approach suited to friendly games and sizeable collections.
