Looking for an excuse to get some pike and shotte figures in the painting queue, and this might just be the trick !Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10833908552095803861noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-32078185595195830832012-04-16T21:30:08.223-04:002012-04-16T21:30:08.223-04:00Should have the rules up before I go to bed later ...Should have the rules up before I go to bed later tonight. How old is your son? I'd say Pikette probably requires someone age 11 or more, as it's simple, but not THAT simple; then again, maybe not - kids are very variable in what they can handle!<br /><br />My original introduction to the hobby was back at about that age via Joe Morschauser's "How to Play Wargames in Miniature"; those rules would probably be suitable starting as low as age 8-9. There is a gridded and somewhat updated version of the rules out there on the web, IIRC.Gonsalvohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16531623280789478092noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-71842246130181806672012-04-16T14:11:38.291-04:002012-04-16T14:11:38.291-04:00I'm looking forward to the rules.

I've been trying to focus more on gridded systems as my son gets old enough to play simple games.Dartfroghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01786991975241723198noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9170582445870210697.post-14508045084544438922012-04-15T14:48:53.949-04:002012-04-15T14:48:53.949-04:00Very interesting stuffVery interesting stuffSgt Steinerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17805201299484374889noreply@blogger.com
