Preparing for Matchlocks

Next week Robert and I will play “Never Mind the Matchlocks”. We are preparing units for the game.

For a first game maybe 150 points will be fine for a start.

Here is Robert’s Geneva army list, 153 points:

• Two regular battallia of 16 M + 12 pike = 56
• One raw battallia = 21
• Highlander retinue = 18
• Forlorn Hope = 6
• Vet harquebusiers = 20
• Detachment vet harquebusiers = 10
• Two Field Guns = 12
• Two brigadiers = 10

I will field a French army, for 149 points):

• One squadron of cuirassiers (8 figures = 20 points)
• One squadron of veteran harquebusiers (8 figures = 16+25% points = 20 points)
• One squadron of dragoons (8 figures = 12 points)
• There battalias of pike and shot (3 x (16 muskets + 9 pikes) 25 = 75 points)
• Two brigadiers ( 2 x 5 = 10 points)
• Two field guns ( 2 x 6 = 12 points)
