The Bohemian Revolt of 1618 triggered the Thirty Years War and in the early period of the war the Catholic/Imperial cause enjoyed an almost unbroken string of victories. This game, part of the Musket and Pike Battle Series, simulates six battles of the early Thirty Years War. In the period covered, the armies deployed in more compact formations so each battle fits on half of a standard map.
The battles covered in this game are:
White Mountain -- November, 1620
Wimpfen -- May, 1622
Höchst -- June, 1622
Fleurus -- August, 1622
Stadtlohn -- August, 1623
Lutter am Barenberge -- August, 1626
