The French War

The French War is the fifth in the series of Thirty Years War supplements for Father Tilly. This period saw the arrival of French armies in Germany and their struggle and eventual success against their rivals the Spanish. Included in this supplement are extensive army lists for new arrivals and old enemies alike as wells as descriptions of how tactics and formations changed during the period and of course detailed profiles of the leading generals. The French War also includes two scenario's which provide detailed orders of battle, maps and special rules for the Battles of Wittstock and Jankow - where players can test their abilities against historical outcomes. The French War covers the last phase of the Thirty Years War, the final and most destructive period of the conflict where religious and political ideals gave way to a gruelling war of annihilation which eventually ended with the Peace of Westphalia in 1648 - more than enough scope for many bloody and hard fought Father Tilly battles...
