Field of Battle

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.

On the Workbench – Village/Town Set 27th Dec 2025

On the Workbench

A quick dispatch to show what is currently occupying the desk.

As we move toward our first 6mm battle reports, the focus of the Muskets & Magnification workshop shifts toward the landscape of 18th-century Europe. High-quality terrain is essential for grounding our Baccus and Irregular Miniatures figures in a believable world.

A selection of exquisite resin buildings from Total Battle Miniatures has arrived, providing the architectural "bones" for our Bohemian villages and towns.

The New Structural Assets:

European Village/Town Set

  • European Village/Town Set: A lot of unpainted high-quality resin buildings to form the core of a strategic objective.

Granary and Houses

  • Granary and Houses: A detailed 6mm Granary and two supporting houses, perfect for representing the vital supply hubs Christopher Duffy often highlighted in his tactical analyses.

These Total Battle Miniatures pieces are renowned for their crisp detail at this scale, and they will be a joy to paint. Once finished, they will provide the "magnification" needed to turn a simple wargame table into a storied piece of Third Silesian War history.
