I've been working through the new Epic Pike & Shotte set from Warlord as well as a number of 15mm metal figures and even rebasing a load of my old 15mm ECW figures. So with the table set up for 8x6 I thought I'd try out one of the scenarios in the EPIC rulebook and refight The Battle of Breitenfeld - 17th September 1631, a classic battle of the 30 years war.

I admire your ability to play tabletop miniatures games solo. Never could manage it myself, mostly because I am a savage cheater.

Enjoyed watching the battle, Don. Thanks for presenting it. We were surprised at how effective and maneuverable the artillery was for SYW.

heavies cant move but light ordinance was designed to move with the infantry

Very interesting, a bit see saw which added to the excitement, love your pike and shotte project Dom, more please!! Many Thanks👍

Agree very interesting but cuirassiers seems way too powerful- extra attack dice (8) even when disordered and receiving cavalry charge at stand, extra defence bonus plus pistol shooting. Not sure this accurately reflects the historical reality of their performance generally against Swedish style cavalry? I’m dead jealous of your room/table, even if my wife isn’t 🙁

Still not really warming up to the epic strips but on the gaming table they do make an impression. Also have to say, the size of the table and the scale of the miniatures give it a much more realistic feel, probably because miniature scale is more in harmony with the ground scale than in 28 mm. Kinda confirms my own deliberation regarding a future 30yw project, even though some of the 28 mm offerings are really tempting. Thanks for the video!

I feel the same way and prefer in general to paint 28's but the smaller scale looks better on the battlefield and the issue with long pikes on figures is much less of a problem with the scale and material of the epic figures.
