Wargaming: Pike-and-Shot, Donald F. Featherstone

Fifteen historical battles & background notes for wargames. Battles include Pavia 1525, Pinkie 1547, Lutzen 1632, Cropredy Bridge 1644, Auldearn 1645, and the Battle of the Dunes 1658.

Each battle described in this book is a significant and outstanding example of the art of warfare and the development of military tactics in this period. They are eminently suitable for scaling-down to realistic table-top proportions because of the size of the armies and the area of the battlefield. By re-fighting them, the wargamer can transform himself into an historical commander, savour his excitement and triumphs and suffer his misjudgements and disappointments. Each of the fifteen battles covered in the book is illustrated wih two maps.
