Justin this series was great content, we don't get enough thorough comparison of systems in our wargame space. You did a fab job of it, especially breaking down how the games compared on key aspects of the period at this scale. Onwards! to BAR and Bayonet and Musket.

I really think your content is well above the bar; you have a deep understanding of the topic of Wargaming, you have an ability to clearly and succinctly share that knowledge with others, and you cover quite a few good games that others rarely do. When deciding which video comment would be the best vehicle to deliver this message, I chose this one because it clearly demonstrates all of the above. Excellent work, @Justegarde.

I've really enjoyed your series of videos on the Age of Enlightenment and I think the comparison is great. Another series on a different era would be must watch KZbin content.

In the great northern war (~1700-1720) Cav were used as the hammer blow. However a frontal charge against disciplined infantry was likely to be bad. If the infantry could hold and volley at 50-30m they should win. Rather Cav was used to hammer a faltering line.

@@EarlofChutney Good to know. Most of these games didn’t really touch cavalry doctrine as a mechanic, instead limiting it to formation and weapon type. The closest was Blenheim, which distinguished between trotters and pistoliers for melee engagement; practically all it did was change the modifiers. Same again for the Vae Victis series.

Enjoyable comparison video-thank you.

Thanks ! I own a couple of these games, and you have helped me clarify my thoughts on the games; instead of just transitory "feelings" that I had of them.

Justin, I really appreciate all the effort it took to make this video - great job! Oh, thanks for not burdening us with Banish All Their Fears, LOL!

Another enormously useful review, full of insightful commentary. Thank you. Hope you do more of these types of videos. Cost may also be an issue (as you mention). 'Horse & Musket', like so many Hollandspiele titles, is a very impressive design, but the components tend not to reflect the high price. Good content to be sure, but the maps in the other games are aesthetically very pleasing, and reflect both an attention to detail with a more reasonable cost.

Good survey. I think Piacenza most intrigues me, albeit it is just one battle. And I hope you soon do a playthrough of "Banish All Their Fears," which currently sits on my shelf mocking me.
