Description

“Musket and Pike is a simulation of the art of warfare in Europe from the introduction of manageable individual-man firearms to the introduction of the socket bayonet in the late Seventeenth Century. The game presents the tactics and possible results of many of these battles during this period. These battles are shown as scenarios giving a mix of units which are moved and engage in combat on the mapsheet.”
