Horse & Musket sub-board?

 I'm sure the membership can come up with other examples of grey areas.

For me the uncomfortable one has always been the War of the Grand Alliance. I know they were still using a few pikes, but it doesn't feel like a P. and S. combat once they're wearing tricornes and using lots of bayonettes.
Come to think of it, if you did the destruction of Ayyuthaya by the Burmese in the 1760s, you'd certainly use P. and S. rules.

We'll split it in two for now, and see how it goes.  It's easy enough to add more boards where we want in future though.

So, does anyone have any cool titles for them?  Anything more interesting than "1680-1900 - For discussing anything between 1680-1900."

Isn't there a risk that that will sound like Warhammer?

[Lord Kermit of Birkenhead]

Would suspect that was more bovine in origin....

Can't cap that one; your point, sir.

at the risk of being radical..... Horse and Musket (1680 -1900) ?


or 'Things that go bang'. This allows you to set up 20thC/Modern as 'Things that go Kaboom' and ancients as 'Things that are pointy'

I see. And anything between 950 (first Chinese use of gunpowder) and 1680 could be the Age of 'Poof!'

Fair enough, what about the other one?  Ancients through to ECW?

Most of History?

'Ancients to Renaissance (3000 BC - 1680)' - well that's assuming we're putting dinosaurs into fantasy ?

I think we should just keep it simple - GWP have already done the clever names for periods thing

Dinosuars are God's joke - we all KNOW the world is only 7500 yrs old - the Bible says so.
