A La Huguenotte!

"For your dessert I present you with a sausage (a cloth casing stuffed with gunpowder) which has  given as good an account of itself as the one at Millau; we put it up against the house of the sieur de Montestier at La Mure, a house banked up and defended. Set in place by Monsieur de Poligny, our sausage did such damage that, according to the best informed, it made more debris than 100 cannon shots, bringing down two pavillions and sending the sentinels up into the air. We got inside, due to this sausage..." 

-The Huguenot Captain Arabin, who I will NOT be inviting to a barbeque anytime soon.

       

The philosophy of A La Huguenotte

For a full description of the system, look at the "Philosophy of Tinker Fox" on the Tinker Fox webpage. What we have done with A La Huguenotte is to bring the campaigning to the continent, and with it some "feel" that is different for the English Civil War. There are more and varied troop types; rules governing Foreign Volunteers and Mercenaries, and a new way of looking at the countryside, enabling players to lay a groundwork of operations before the game begins through "Affiliation Points".

Now you can build your own campaign for anything going in Western Europe! Scenarios could easily be made for any of the local fighting between Huguenots and Royalists, or when Henry of Navarre  becomes King, between the Royalists and the League. Other fertile areas would be the Netherlands between Spanish and Dutch forces, or after the Pacification of Ghent, Spanish versus Flemings and Walloons. With some slight backdating you could wow your friends with a campaign from the Schmalkaldic Wars!
I can also see how this would work for  border warfare in the Balkans between Imperial and Turkish forces, or in Livonia between Swedes and Poles! Supplements are fun and easy to produce...

We have included THREE HISTORICAL SCENARIOS, three separate campaign games, one set in the Netherlands and two in France, each with the actual leaders present, one including the King of Navarre himself, Henry IV.





Remember,

This game is meant to be used with our Spanish Fury, Actions! miniatures rules for smaller battles, with forces up to 1500 per side.

You need the Tinker Fox rules to play this!
