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.

As the sun rises over the virtual Bohemian fields this morning, I wanted to take a brief moment away from the Baccus painting desk to wish all my readers and fellow hobbyists a very Happy Easter.

For the solitary commander, these bank holiday weekends are a rare gift—a chance to let the Black Powder smoke clear and focus on those small details that make the Third Silesian War project so rewarding.

"The mist is still rising over the fields; may your weekend be peaceful and your reinforcements arrive on time."

Happy Easter to you and yours. I’ll be back shortly with the final compilation of our 1756–1763 Project Hub.

What do you think?

How are you spending the Easter break? Are you getting any tabletop gaming or painting time in over the long weekend?
