Gaming the Horse & Musket Series
The Horse & Musket series from Hollandspeil, so far. Volume III was published in late 2018. Hollandspeil’s Horse & Musket series is an on-going collection of modular games, featuring an abstract, yet realistic, and fast-playing system that slowly evolves with the chronology of the battles being gamed. This series is defined in the common rulebook as: “…a tactical system that covers the development of musket warfare from Vienna in 1683 and Sedgemoor in 1685 to Appomattox in 1865 and Koniggratz in 1866. After the American Civil War and the triumph of Prussian tactics at Koniggratz warfare moved from muzzle loaded weapons to breechloaders.” To date, three volumes have been produced. Dawn of an Era , published in 2017, is the base module, a prerequisite for all future modules. Sport of Kings , published in 2018, is the second volume, covering battles from 1721-1748. Crucible of War is the most recent module, also from 2018, and features the Seven Years War. E
