Piquet New Releases

1999

by Rob Chellis

Hannibal Ad Portas by Glenn Pruitt- $18.00
An absolutely superb scenario book for Archon, over 108 pages in length with maps, OBs, and Archon Ratings for the complete campaign of Hannibal against Rome. This will set the standard for all future Piquet Scenario books.

Grand Piquet by Jim Mauro- $20.00
Jim Mauro has created a new 120 page supplement for Piquet that allows Grand Tactical battles to be fought in the Napoleonic period, and should supply some great guidance for other periods as well. Designed for use with the standard Horse and Musket cards and including new card deck lists and ratings for most of the armies of the Napoleonic wars, this will allow garners to field Corps sized forces in a Piquet-style game system. Loads of new and innovative ideas.

CdePK by Jim Getz-$20.00
Jim Getz, well known designer of Empire and Chef de Battalion rules, has done a masterful job of creating a Piquet approach to Napoleonic minor tactics and "Big Battalion" wargaming. With each unit being of company size and each player commanding, at most, a couple of battalions, a squadron or so of horse, and a few guns, this design takes you right down to the nuts and bolts, black powder on your hands, level of combat. Many, many new ideas including the first internet supplied cards for your Sequence Decks! Play tested in Tasmania!

The above two rule sets along with with the Les Grognards supplement, allow the Napoleonic buff to game at the company-battalion, battalion-division, or regimentcorps level of combat with Piquet systems and variants.
