1-226070

This period saw the birth of regular armies and navies for most major European powers. Massive battles were fought on land and at sea from the frozen winters of Scandinavia to the searing summer heat of North Africa. Alliances were agreed, broken and remade and thrones changed hands in the name of religion and the pursuit of power.

This guide provides the kind of information wargamers require to take the step into one of military history's most colourful eras. It offers overviews of the main conflicts and outlines major, minor, and unusual battles.

Covers how to create and paint your troops, information on uniforms and flags, which regiments fought where, the evolution of tactics and battlefield doctrines, and information on the legendary commanders who created them is all included.

The book is designed to act as a reference source and is not aligned with any particular rule set. Includes 108 color photos, 9 b/w illustrations, and 4 color maps.
