From the Restoration of England's monarchy until the end of the War
of the League of Augsburg, nearly every country in Europe
experienced conflict. Until recently, this period was perceived as
a wargaming backwater overshadowed by the Thirty Years War fought
1618-1648 and the War of the Spanish Succession which followed from
1701-1714. It is one of military history's most colourful and
exciting eras which saw the birth of regular armies and navies for
most major European powers. Massive battles were fought on land and
at sea from the frozen winters of Scandinavia to the searing summer
heat of North Africa. Alliances were agreed, broken and remade and
thrones changed hands in the name of religion and the pursuit of
power. This guide provides the kind of information wargamers
require to take the step into a new period or, begin collecting a
new army. It overviews the main conflicts and outlines major, minor
and unusual battles. How to create and paint your troops,
information on uniforms and flags, which regiments fought where,
the evolution of tactics and battlefield doctrines together with
information on the legendary commanders who created them is all
included.##The book is designed to act as a reference source and is
not aligned with any particular rule set. The title is a quote from
a man who was a major influence on the entire period; Willem van
Oranje, King William III.
