Ken, if you are coming to Ayton next year, that would be great. And if you are bringing your Mexicans, are you still up for a trade or deal of some sort? I am assuming that you haven't re-armed them all with pikes and muskets of course.MarshalNey wrote: ↑Thu Dec 16, 2021 11:44 amGreat! I'll bring me Mexicans - which if I recall Tim wanted?to put together something 17th Century-ish.

I am very tempted by some of the figures available at the 1670-80 end of the pike and shot era, but they might be too late. As I understand it from our discussions, I know you don't want to go much earlier than 30 Years War. Any early thoughts on rules, just in case I need to buy a copy of "Pike and Shotte"?
No Gary, that's perfect. Thanks.garyp wrote: ↑Thu Dec 16, 2021 5:28 pmTim,Tim Hall wrote: ↑Wed Dec 15, 2021 10:36 pm As you know, I am definitely up for that.

At the moment I plan to use Pikeman's Lament for the Saturday games and Pike and Shotte for the Sunday game.
I am not fixed on how early/late the time frame should be, although I'd sort of got it in my head that it would start with the beginning of the Thirty Years War and end with the introduction of the plug bayonet. If that's too prescriptive I'd be happy to change.
