    We've been doing megagames based on both the Thirty Years' War and "The Last Emperor of Mexico". The history of the Hapsburgs is essentially Game of Thrones, but with more treachery and inbreeding. en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maximil...

    Planning/writing a scenario for my #TTRPG group using the classic All For One core rules and setting. Planning on one session per month for 30 months, every 3 sessions will take place during a year in the last decade of the Thirty Years' War, so 10 years will have passed in the course of the game.

    With daylight fading, the elite Swedish Brigades tear holes in the Imperialist Tercios, as von Thurn's Brigade arrives from the reserve to repel Pappenheim. Meanwhile, on the Imperial right, Erwitte's Horse is chipping away at the Saxon Foot #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargames #wargaming #6mm #TwilightOfDivineRight

    The game about the Thirty Years' War lets players die through it.

    Fighting about the manuscript: this peer review situation between reviewer 1 (the helpful armored lion on the left bravely fighting to rescue the text) and reviewer 2 (the devil himself) was in fact a detail in a #earlymodern propaganda print of the #ThirtyYearsWar. #academicchatter

    I think it's going to be more the plot of (relative) Smash Hit Video Game Command and Conquer Generals: Zero Hour than it is the Thirty Years' War Doomerism would be this youtu.be/yQ9ChMLK1KY?...

    Wallenstein's goal in 1633 was to bring Saxony back into the imperial fold. Yet in history (as in #ThirtyYearsWar:EuropeInAgony @gmtgames.bsky.social), that was easier thought than done: https://cliosboardgames.wordpress.com/2025/08/10/wallenstein-decline-the-life-games-of-wallenstein-3/

    The battle ends with the left-wing Tercios under Schoenburg collapsing in rout, but the Saxons still clinging on. The Imperial army, though unbroken, will retire under cover of darkness, thankful that Gustavus Adolphus is left with insufficient Horse to mount a meaningful pursuit. #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargames #wargaming #6mm #TwilightOfDivineRight

    As dusk descends, the Saxon Foot is on the brink of collapse, but so too is Tilly's centre and left. A Swedish victory is tantalisingly close, but there's only one turn left to finish the job... #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargames #wargaming #6mm #TwilightOfDivineRight

    With Baner's Swedish and Bindauf's Saxon horse having quit the field, the Swedish triangular brigades bring their pikemen forward and charge the Imperial tercios. Holes start to appear in Tilly's centre, and much now rests on Pappenheim urging forward his battered but triumphant cuirassiers to turn the Swedish right #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargames #wargaming #6mm #TwilightOfDivineRight

    Despite being cut off from their Swedish allies and attacked by tercios and cuirassiers, the Saxons prove far more resilient than their historical counterparts. Meanwhile, the fight in the centre is an attritional grind #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargames #wargaming #6mm #TwilightOfDivineRight

    Erwitte's horse, supported by three tercios from the centre, engages the Saxon foot, while Pappenheim re-groups his battered horsemen and the opposing centres close for the final showdown #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargames #wargaming #6mm #TwilightOfDivineRight

    With von Arnim destroyed, the Saxon foot is forced to advance, to avoid being cut off from the Swedes. On the left, one Catholic League tercio is routed by cannon fire, but Baner's horse is now close to collapse #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargames #wargaming #6mm #TwilightOfDivineRight

    The Imperial tercios begin to grind forward, hoping to force a decision in the centre, while Erwitte's reserve cavalry is committed as Furstenburg's command crumbles #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargames #wargaming #6mm #TwilightOfDivineRight

    Is Tilly's plan starting to unravel? Pappenheim is being squeezed between Baner's horse and Oxenstierna's brigade of foot, while Furstenberg's wing, despite finally repelling von Arnim's spoiling attack, is on the brink of collapse #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargames #wargaming #6mm #TwilightOfDivineRight

    Finnish and Livonian cavalry counterattack, but Pappenheim continues to grind down the Swedish cavalry. Meanwhile, Imperial artillery opens up in an attempt to shore up Furstenburg's flailing attack. #Breitenfeld #ThirtyYearsWar #wargaming #wargames #TwilightOfDivineRight #6mm

    At #Breitenfeld, von Arnim's Saxons counterattack against Furstenburg, while on the opposite flank, Pappenheim starts to make progress against Baner's Swedes #ThirtyYearsWar #Wargaming #Wargames #TwilightOfDivineRight #6mm

    Breitenfeld begins. Pappenheim advances on the left, Furstenburg on the right. But though Isolano's Croats pin down the Saxon left, von Arnim's cavalry wheels to threaten the Imperial cavalry. #ThirtyYearsWar #6mm #Wargames #Wargaming #TwilightOfDivineRight
