GMT Games, 2012. — 56 p. — (Musket and Pike Battle Series, Volume VI).
The Bohemian Revolt of 1618 triggered the Thirty Years War and in the early period of the war the Catholic/Imperial cause enjoyed an almost unbroken string of victories. This small book, part of the Musket and Pike Battle Series, gamely simulates six battles (White Mountain, Wimpfen, Fleurus, Höchst, Stadtlohn and Lutter am Barenberge) of the early Thirty Years War (from 1620 to 1626). In the period covered, the armies deployed in more compact formations so each battle fits on half of a standard map.
In the early period of the (Thirty Years) war the Catholic/Imperial cause enjoyed an almost unbroken string of victories." The star of the show is one general Johann Tserclaes, Graf von Tilly. Players will get to fool around with Austrians, Bavarians, Bohemians, Croats, Danes, Dutch, Germans, Hessians, Lorraines, Moravians, Neapolitans, Poles, Silesians, Spanish, Swedes (not Adolphus, at least not yet), Transylvanians and Walloons. Besides Mr. Tilly, other notables are Cordoba, Duke Christian, Christian IV (King of Denmark), Mansfield, Maximillian I, and lesser lights.
