Push-Of-Pike
Wargame Rules for 1639–1660
Push-Of-Pike is designed to simulate combat in Britain, during the period 1639 to 1660. A time of upheaval, when English fought against Scots; when English fought against Irish and of course, when Englishmen fought Englishmen in the conflict known to history as The English Civil War.
An intense period of struggle, that began with a King believing in his divine right to rule and a Parliament with grievances against him, that maintained itw own right to govern.
The basic concepts of Push-Of-Pike differ greatly from that currently considered „normal“ in wargames rules. There are no mathematics-based tables where a player can safely determine the outcome of an action before it occurs. The card operated game system – for the most part – ensures that for the bulk of the game, players will not even known in what order the action takes place.
Push-Of-Pike is intended for the FUN gamer; will suit the novice wargamer, the young wargamer or the hardened veteran.
