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.

Slitherine reveals Pike and Shot, a new strategy game designed by Richard Bodley Scott

Pike and Shot is a strategy game featuring musketeers and pikemen, which is being developed by Slitherine and designed by Richard Bodley Scott, who is known for creating the Field of Glory table-top wargame rules. Pike and Shot takes place between the 16th and 17th centuries, where medieval battefield tactics switched over to a more modern setting by adding musketeers and artillery to the armies. It's this period that Pike and Shot focuses on, as players are tasked with taking advantage of musketeers alongside pikemen and cavalry to engage their enemies in battle.
