Book Synopsis Pike and Shot Tactics 1590–1660 by : Keith Roberts
Download or read book Pike and Shot Tactics 1590–1660 written by Keith Roberts and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2012-05-20 with total page 144 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the 17th century large parts of Europe were depopulated during the wide-ranging and savage wars of religion and dynasty, involving all of the major powers. This was therefore a key period in the development of 'modern' infantry tactics, such as the use of pole-arms and muskets together hence the popular expression 'pike and shot'. These infantry tactics involved different national schools on thought and practice, and were tested bloodily in great battles. This title covers the Dutch-Spanish wars of independence, The Thirty Years' War and the English Civil Wars.

Book Synopsis The Pikeman’s Lament by : Daniel Mersey
Download or read book The Pikeman’s Lament written by Daniel Mersey and published by Bloomsbury Publishing. This book was released on 2017-01-26 with total page 68 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recreate the action and drama of 17th Century warfare on your tabletop with The Pikeman's Lament. Start by creating your Officer – is he a natural leader raised from the ranks, the youngest son of a noble family, or an old veteran who has seen too many battles? As you campaign, your Officer will win honour and gain promotion, acquiring traits that may help lead his men to victory. Before each skirmish, your Officer must raise his Company from a wide range of unit options – should he lean towards hard-hitting heavy cavalry or favour solid, defensively minded infantry? Companies are typically formed from 6–8 units, each made up of either 6 or 12 figures, and quick, decisive, and dramatic games are the order of the day. With core mechanics based on Daniel Mersey's popular Lion Rampant rules, The Pikeman's Lament captures the military flavour of the 17th Century, and allows you to recreate skirmishes and raids from conflicts such as the Thirty Years' War, the English Civil Wars, and the Great Northern War.

Book Synopsis The Spanish Tercios 1536–1704 by : Ignacio J.N. López
Download or read book The Spanish Tercios 1536–1704 written by Ignacio J.N. López and published by Osprey Publishing. This book was released on 2012-07-24 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: A mixed infantry formation made up of about 3,000 men armed with pikes, swords and handguns, the innovative and influential tercio or 'Spanish square' was the basic combat unit of the armies of Spain throughout much of the 16th and 17th centuries. Arguably the first permanent tactical formation seen in Europe since the Roman cohort, the tercio was the forerunner of modern formations such as the battalion and regiment. The variety of different weapons fielded in the tercio meant the Spanish infantry could resist opposing cavalry forces while overcoming every kind of enemy infantry deployed against them. Featuring full-colour artwork and photographs of rare items held at the Spanish Army Museum, this study covers the whole period during which the tercios were active, opening with the third Italian war between the forces of France and the Holy Roman Emperor and concluding with the final transformation of the Spanish tercios into regiments in 1704.
