Book Synopsis

Recreate the action and drama of 17th Century warfare on your tabletop with The Pikeman''s Lament.

Start by creating your Officer is he a natural leader raised from the ranks, the youngest son of a noble family, or an old veteran who has seen too many battles? As you campaign, your Officer will win honor and gain promotion, acquiring traits that may help lead his men to victory. Before each skirmish, your Officer must raise his Company from a wide range of unit options should he lean towards hard-hitting heavy cavalry or favor solid, defensively minded infantry? Companies are typically formed from 68 units, each made up of either 6 or 12 figures, and quick, decisive, and dramatic games are the order of the day.

With core mechanics based on Daniel Mersey''s popular Lion Rampant rules, The Pikeman''s Lament captures the military flavor of the 17th Century, and allows you to recreate skirmishes and raids from conflicts such as the Thirty Years'' W
