About the game

What is Grand Ambition: Wargame Rules for the Wars of James II, Louis XIV and William III

Grand Ambition is another set of rules that uses the AB One system.

Having covered the Thirty Years War period and the English Civil War with previous versions, I wanted to finish off the seventeenth century by covering the wars of James II, Louis XIV and William III.

This later period saw the rise of the standing army: regular troops, funded by the state and employed all year round.

This period also saw significant developments in weaponry and tactics and it is these changes that I hope are reflected in the rules.
