Not seen those but I’d be interested in any views as well. I’m in the market for mid-17thC rules, currently looking at Victory Without Quarter.
I get lockdown, but I get up again.

I’ve heard they’re ‘ok’. Neither good nor bad, though haven’t read them myself.

EB has them and I'm sure has read and playtested them as part of his ongoing analysis and critique of how all rules handle the use of pikes...

So he’ll be selling them to you shortly then? And then buying them back (at more than current market.m value) when we do the Pike and Shot Ayton?

I'd be interested too. I have a metric shit-tonne of WG 17th century plastic sprues, picked up when they were doing their ludicrous £1 a sprue sales.

I do indeed have In Deo Veritas, and I've just taken delivery of the Pike and Shot Society's Twilight of the Sun King.

Happy to review them. What in particular do people want to know - basing, sequence, scales, dice......stuff?

Can they be adapted to Rank and File?

Will they work, or are they compatible, with 6mm? What about 20mm or 54 mm?

Actually, just generally curious about how game play works - command mechanisms, turn structure, the basics really. Also, I'm curious about the Twilight series too. The SYW set caught my attention the other day.
