Warmaster Seven Years War

[Dragoon]

Has anyone played warmaster seven years war?
Or even if there is such a variation say 1700 - 1815

I've seen WM Medievals used for ECW, but nothing later that I know of?  It'd be interesting to see if anyone has tried it?

[fred.]

There is a Napmaster variant about - I'm sure Nik's used this.

I've got an AWI version that was published in one of the wargaming magazines

[Steve J]

This is a Black Powder version of BKC, which is itself a version of Warmaster. I haven't tried it but aim to at some point soon. Hope this helps?

Thanks Steve,

I've not played Black Powder rules before, if it works at battalion level, (I've only ever used Charge! for SYW) then it'll be good.

I like to see the separate battalions in a regiment, and the separate Standards.

Best Regards

Yep - I've got WM variants for:

- Renaissance / ECW
- Marlburian
- AWI
- Napoleonics
- ACW
- FPW

I've not found a SYW specific variant - surprisingly - but the AWI one [with some tweaking] would be a good kick-off point: you can get it here [and very nice it is too]:

Having said that, 'Maurice' looks good to me for SYW as well - might be worth a look too - here:

My word, another gamer who actually knows that the ECW was not fought during the renaissance! I'm not alone on this planet, after all.

[Dragoon]

I suppose the renaissance began somewhere during the 100 years war when the
Archers stopped knights or perhaps later when archers couldn't  stop knights.
Or at Pavia.
Things were very fluid then, possibly until Marlborough obtained his first decisive victory.
Perhaps , before when the pike and Halberd became decorative.

Even the Napoleonic Wars are split into time periods.
ie. revolutionary, 1805, 1806/7, 1809, 1812, 1813/14,
The Hundred Days.
Even 1813 changed after the truce.

Best Regards

Begins with Giotto, ends with Michelangelo. Anything else is trying to hijack mana from the terminology.
I have spoken.

[cameronian]

Too dogmatic FK, or should that be catmatic? Art historians generally agree it began with Giotto but military historians usually date it much later, to Castillon in 1453 and the first effective use of massed artillery, then again literary historians might say it began with the works of Chaucer, Dante, and Petrarch, all writing in the 14th century.
The same applies to defining an end point. Bertrand Russell thought it ended in 1641 with the publication of Meditationes by Descartes, some military historians with the end of the Thirty Years War, others even later with the death of Louis XIV in 1715. So you see, there's more than one way to skin a cat  - so to speak.

Dixi.

 Much sense in your points, except that I have yet to meet one person who actually reads Chaucer by choice. Since Pope, he's in the same position as Homer after Star Wars - exists only as a context for much better stuff.
I have spoken again.
