Army Builder - Pike & Shotte

Note: Updates can most easily be retrieved directly from with Army Builder via the integrated Updates mechanism within the product.

Pike & Shotte is a historical tabletop wargame covering the Thirty Years War, English Civil Wars, Italian Wars and Wars of Religion. Because it is relatively popular in the tabletop gaming community, it received its own supplemental download pack for the Army Builder roster customization tool.

Because the game covers such a wide part of history, it should come to no surprise that most of the units present are vast in numbers and variety, but it would be inaccurate if they all could be used together.

As such, while installing the supplemental pack may add all the Pike & Shotte units to the Army Builder database, they are subsequently divided based on the period they were used in (e.g. Italian Wars, Tudor Wars, 30-years War etc.)

After selecting the period of your choice, creating an army is then pretty straight forward, as with all other supplemental packs used with Army Builder. Units can be edited, and their details can be viewed, so that building an army can be done far more efficiently.

Given the application's simulation nature, it could be used both as a tool to learn the rules of the game or as a means to test out better army setups for future tabletop matches.
