Pike & Shotte est un jeu de figurines historique développé par Warlord Games, qui se concentre sur les batailles des XVIe et XVIIe siècles, une période marquée par l’évolution des tactiques militaires mêlant piquiers, mousquetaires et cavalerie. Il est particulièrement adapté pour représenter des conflits tels que :
Le livre de base inclut des règles génériques et des listes d’armées pour les principales périodes et factions. Il existe également des suppléments qui approfondissent certains conflits spécifiques avec des scénarios, des listes d’armées plus détaillées et des histoires enrichissantes.
Pike & Shotte is a game of tabletop battles with model soldiers set in the 17th century. Pit your wits and tactics against your friends as armies clash in massed combat.
This starter set gives you the splendid Pike & Shotte rulebook and two starter forces field them as Royalist or Parliamentarian in the English Civil Wars or as one of the many protagonists involved in the immense Thirty Years War.
Thundering across the field of battle, resplendent in their ornate plate armour and pistols held tightly in gauntleted hands the charge of a cuirassier regiment was something to behold!
With luck the regiment would stop and perform their speciality – the ‘caracole’ – a complicated, but well-executed tactic, whereby the first ranks fired their pistols in the very faces of their foe, then wheeled away to reload whilst the next rank came up to volley.
The alternative would see them smash home, pistolling men at close quarters, or wielding fearsome poleaxes to smash through armour or crush opponents.
The 17th century saw large regiments of these steel-clad cavalry fighting epic battles in Europe in the devastating Thirty Years War. In England, Parliament massed enough money to put Haselrig’s ‘Lobsters’ (as they were known from their bright hard shells) into the field to take on Prince Rupert’s feared Cavaliers.
Warlord Games’ Cuirassiers are tooled up with horse pistols, swords and even war hammers. Sound the charge!
Formations on the field could vary enormously as the situation dictated. On paper, a regiment may have ten companies of 100 men each but in reality, due to sickness, casualties and lack of money, regiments could be as small. The norm was to have two equal ‘wings’ of musketeers on the flanks and a central block of pikemen armed with sharp 16 foot ash pikes. While the slow-firing musketeers whittled down the enemy, the pikes’ primary role was to provide them with protection from cavalry.
This box contains all you need to field a pike and musket-armed regiment of the period, be it for the Thirty Years War that ravaged Europe or the English Civil Wars where Royalist battled Parliament for control of the country.
