The Perfect Captain is the maker of many
DTP games. The most recent is called
Spanish Fury. It sets out to be
"A complete system of warfare for 16th Century Europe
Including Battle Rules, a Campaign, and Siege Game"
The
game includes a
PDF of the
rules,
unit counters and
maps for the
Spanish sack of
Antwerp in 1576. The game components look lush, detailed and print out on my
ink jet very well. I use a good solid
card stock for the
unit counters.
The
game system pits the forces of the
besieger against the
besieged.
Morale,
economics and a bit of
resource management go along with the classical
attack/
defend strategy of most
war games. Don’t worry about too much
book-keeping taking away from
the art of war, this game handles it simply enough.
