Pikeman Rampant

[Jeremy]

Don't get me started on pikes....................

although...........a game similar to Lion Rampant which had reasonable rules for pike units would almost certainly get me painting some of those silly 28mm toys you lot are so fond of.

Then you’ll be wanting Pikemans Lament

Nice find Paul. I’ve got a Foundry Landsknecht Army sat in a drawer ready to paint yo for something Rampant

something Rampant

Is that the antithesis of reassuringly floppy?

The LR author had this to say about pikes:
"Judging by the number of queries about rules for pikes, I’ve seen that most gamers do actually want pikes differentiated from long spears, so here I bring you an upgrade for Foot Serjeants and Foot Yeomen to try out:

Foot Yeomen and Serjeants upgrade:
Pikes @ 1 point per unit: Defence value becomes 3+ versus Mounted units.

I've also been asked about mobile schiltrons for pike formations. The original name for this rule during playtesting was “spear hedge” or “hedgehog”, as the schiltron rule really represents any style of tight infantry formation relying on mutual defence. But if you do want to have your schiltrons moving around the tabletop, here are a couple of suggestions to try out:

Foot Yeomen and Serjeants upgrade:
Mobile Schiltron @ 1 or 2 points per unit. Allows units to move in Schiltron at half speed for 1 point or full speed for 2 points. Cannot move in Rough terrain."

I bought Pikey Rampant

One day it’s on the shelf and the next it’s in a lay-by on the A16 with a tarmacing business and some of your neighbours stuff.
