The pikemen are far too close together in the battle at the end of alatriste and one of the ways you can tell is the musketeers absolutely struggle to come up

Not like 'oh they were referring to the wrong king' , more 'they had the wrong king on a banknote in one scene'

Why do book characters consistently have wildly anachronistic names.
Anne Hathaway is currently playing a Colleen Hoover character who is a women in her early 40s in the 2020s named *Verity Crawford*
Other media does not do this, if this was an original film she’d be called Lucy

Working on a retroclone of a 70s/80s chit-&-hex wargame with my rat fantasy/early modern setting. The numbers are meaningless for now, but I think these look appropriate for this era of published wargames. (The headwear isn't historical, minus the galloper's lobster pot & sword&buckler's secret.)

Fun game with a lot of rock-paper-scissors charts to figure out and internalize.

At this point I'm tempted to just use the standard vanilla game, but it would mean stuff like Pikemen would be useless seeing as they drop their pikes very early on into combat (unless I go into the files and delete their swords)

Biggest takeaway from this book is how easy it was to raise armies
"What did you do with your last set of Sottish pikemen?"
Oh, I got 4,000 massacred when I decided to fight a battle in a bog.

But there’s a story about someone who, not knowing this, thought that Tanks were too fast and modded the game to make them Move 2 instead… and was then shocked to see a regiment of Pikemen destroying battalions of Tanks.

Sooooooo funny story about that… the Pikemen have a bonus against mounted units, right? But as I understand it, Civ II didn’t have a “mounted” tag in the unit descriptions; it just gives Pikemen a bonus against any unit with Move 2, because that’s all the mounted units anyway—

In addition to the new tactics Neale invented a new kind of pike with a moveable pivot that a soldier could attach a bow onto. This allowed the pikemen to present his pike and fire a bow at the same time.
