Field of Battle

on
Field of Battle, Designed by Brent Oman and published by Piquet, Inc., the Field of Battle system stands as one of the most respected horse-and-musket wargaming frameworks of the modern tabletop era. Originating from the broader Piquet gaming philosophy, Field of Battle streamlined classic card-driven mechanics into a single, cohesive system that masterfully simulates command friction, the fog of war, and battle momentum without forcing players into exhaustive chart lookups or micromanagement. Across its three distinct iterations—from the original breakthrough 2006 release, through the refined 2011 second edition, to the polished 2020 third edition—the rulebook family has continually perfected its core sequence deck concept.

Wargames Rules: Age of Honor

Age of Honor is the digital expansion module and scenario book for Age of Eagles II (Napoleonic Fire & Fury), covering the "Lace Wars" from the age of Marlborough and Villars to Frederick the Great and Marshal Saxe. It provides all the necessary rules changes to convert the core Napoleonic system to 18th-century warfare in less than a page.

The system is designed for "big battles" where the player controls divisions rather than individual battalions. It includes eight pages of regimental data concerning all the forces that fought during the period from the War of the Spanish Succession through to the War of the Bavarian Succession. The expansion includes sixteen historical scenarios, including Seven Years' War masterpieces such as Kolin, Leuthen, Zorndorf, Minden, Kunersdorf, and Torgau.

The rules focus on the grand tactical experience, using a "Tempo" and activation system that reflects the friction of command. While originally designed for 15mm, the system is highly adaptable to other scales, making it a viable option for massed 6mm engagements where brigade-level integrity is paramount.
