    Always open to reading a new set of pike and shotte rules. When it says “brigade level” does that mean each BMU is a brigade or the player commands a brigade?

      I read that as each game unit is a brigade rather than each player commands a brigade. It talks about largish battles so I assume there are several brigades in each army. Wittstock is mentioned: Wiki tells me that there were c 19000 on each side so half a dozen brigades each at a guess.

    Interesting, their history books are good, so worth a longer look I guess?

      Not read any yet, but maybe these rules will be the first.
