Description

Field of Battle is an not overly complex set of miniatures rules covering from 1700-1900. It maintains the Piquet philosophy of organized chaos but has different mechanisms than other Piquet rules sets which eliminate the wilder extremes of activation while maintaining unpredictability.

Field of Battle uses combat resolution tables and procedures that are familiar to Piquet players, but initiative and sequence deck use is completely unique. Rules have been streamlined to make processes consistent, simple, and as short as possible, All charts needed for play are included on a single reference sheet.
