Soldiers of the Virginia Colony 1607 - 1699, by D.A. Yisdale, ISBN 0-87517-110-9 This is a solid work on an obscure topic. I have a ECW Royalist miniatures army, which I have supplemented with more figures (mainly Indian allies) in order to be able to play a 17th century colonial army. I bought thi...

Ran the installer and it worked as intended. Thanks for the update!

Sounds brilliant. Can owners of Pike and Shot and Tercio to Salvo just buy an expansion, or do we need to pay full price for a full new game? Product page doesn't make it clear. You will have to wait for an official announcement, but owners of the existing game will only be paying a fraction of the...

I had already tried that, (I kept my installation program) but the P&S program demanded to be updated to version 3 and wouldn't progress. Then I remembered your note about the C:/documents folder which I learned your uninstall program does not erase. So I uninstalled, deleted that folder and rei...

Yes, I do. And it only happens with P&S, no other program. And it worked fine before the patch.

Destroyed the game for me. Everything works until the battle map comes up. Then the game freezes up my computer. I can hear the music, but I cannot move the mouse. I can't even use CNTRL-ALT-DEL to break the program. I literally have to pull the plug and reboot. This has happened all three times I'v...

This patch destroyed the game for me. As soon as the battle map appears, the game locks up and I cannot do anything. I can't use ALT-TAB or CNTRL-ALT-DEL to break out of the program. I literally have to pull the plug and restart the computer.

I've tried three times and this always has happened.

And an excellent brainstorm it is.

I'm the opposite. I have played a lot of Cruel Necessity this year, and that got me interested in Pike and Shot. I had the same thought as you, however in CN you are the Roundheads and the P&S campaign is Royalist, so I do not see a way to incorporate the two until there is a Parliamentarian cam...

The fortifications cost more for movement than open terrsin. Dead ground it is. Dead ground costs 4 and fortifications costs 6MPs, so the outer unit needs to move through 2 fortification spaces,which it cannot do; while the inner unit can move 1 dead ground and one fortification for 10 MPs. The pro...

I'm puzzled about the movement costs of the colunelas on the left wing of the Spanish, the ones behind the fort squares. The tooltips provide no explanation, in fact they add to the mystery. Start with the colunela on the far left of the Spanish line (the right side of the screen). If I click on it,...

Try the right click/left click mouse options to see what suits you best as undo isn't really possible unfortunately. The game is not designed for it at all and it wont bolt in. Sorry to hear 'undo' is not an option. I'm doing the right/left click thing and that is what is causing these 65-year old ...

1. AUTORUN.EXE stopped working. No idea why. I simply double click on PIKEANDSHOT.EXE to start the game. All my other Matrix menu programs work. 2. I need an 'undo' key/icon for movement. At least every other turn I click expecting a unit to change facing but it moves into the space. Annoying, for n...

Deducter, thanks for this, it explains a lot. Let me posit a slightly different deployment to your figure 14. Assume there is no 10-strength infantry unit in the right-most hex. My experience and what I've complained about, is that the retreat you indicate will take place DESPITE what is now (an uno...
