First published in 1971, with a second edition in 1979, these rules
were revolutionary for their time. They were written to allow
wargamers to replay even the largest battles from the horse and
musket era 1685-1845. This popular set of rules were in use
primarily for Seven Years War and the Napoleonic Wars for over 25
years. The approximate ratio was 1 figure representing 40-50 men.
This scale made it feasible to recreate historical battles upon the
table top at the grand tactical level. Wargamers used them for
Marlborough's battles, the Highland rebellions, the battles of
Frederick the Great, in addition to the Seven Years War, the War of
American Independence, campaigns in India, the French Revolutionary
Wars and Napoleonic Wars. They rules included three pages of
specimen army lists for Marlburian era, the Seven Years War and the
early Indian Wars. The rules are published by the History of
Wargaming Project as part of its work to make key developments in
the hobby available again.
