Pike and Shot: Campaigns gets hefty 'Le Roi Soleil' update

Pike and Shot: Campaigns has received a new 'Le Roi Soleil' update, which focuses on the modernisation of the French army during the reign of the 'Sun King', Louis XIV.

It adds a brand new skirmish module, covering European armies from 1649 to 1698 with 37 new army lists and various new units. The new units and armies have also been added to the Grand Campaign, which has received a bit of a revision - defending armies should be much more effective now, even engaging larger invading armies early in an attempt to disrupt them before reinforcements arrive.
