What is Close Fire & European Order: XVII – The Field of Battle - 1600-1700
Close Fire & European Order are wargames rules originally designed to re-create battles of the early 18th C in Europe with miniature figures.
Many of the rule mechanisms have been developed from Andy Callan’s American War of Independence rules- Loose Files and American Scramble, which were originally published in Wargames Illustrated no. 1.
This version is an adaptation which takes the rules back in time to the era of ‘pike and shot.’ The main focus of the 17th Century adaptation is the time of the Thirty Years War and the English Civil Wars (1620-1660). It also covers the early wars of Louis XIV of France up to the end of the 1600s.
The historical period covered by Close Fire XVII is one of transition from medieval to early-modern warfare marked by the increasing ascendancy of infantry and the transition from pike to shot.
