What is Wargaming Pike-and-Shot
In the early fifteen century, artillery and the hand held firearm were rapidly superseding the bow and edged weapons and for the next 250 years pike-and-shot prevailed. Gunpower so dominated the battlefield that armour, except for the helmet and breastplate worn by heavy cavalry and pikemen, was discarded. It was an era that mage many positive forward steps in the art of warfare and is particularly attractive for simulation in miniature because of its colour, tactical innovations and brilliant commanders.
Each battle described in this book is a significant and outstanding example of the art of warfare and the development of of military tactics in the period. They are eminently suitable for scaling-down to realistic table-top proportions because of the size of the armies and the area of the battlefield. By re-fighting them, the wargamer can transform himself into an historical commander, savour his excitement and triumph and suffer his misjudgments and disappointments.
Each of the fifteen battles covered in the book is illustrated with two maps.
