Rules for the Wars of Marlborough

The Corporal John ruleset was written especially for the North London Wargames Group’s Blenheim display game of 2000.

The combat mechanism is element v. element, and provided that your basing can be broken down into definable elements they will work perfectly well.

The sub-title of these rules is “the Wars of Marlborough”. However, since they cater for pike-armed infantry and pistol cavalry they could be used for the English Civil War, the Thirty Years War and the Great Northern War.

These rules were originally written for 10 mm figures, but there are conversions for 15 mm and 25 mm figures as well. The rules also cater for platoon firing and firing by ranks.
