An Introduction to Baroque

This video is an introduction to the ‘BAROQUE’ Wargame Rukes by Dadi & Piombo. You can find a play through of a ECW game here: • Solo Baroque Battle

Some very nice figures to look at ;)

I will watch your batrep for sure, also it's about time for another Picket's Charge, Mathilda's Field helped me with a lot of the rules and great fun to watch.

Great video, i must dig out my stuff again for this, I really enjoyed the game. I found the combat sequence and cohesion test maddeningly difficult to explain, but so easy when you actually do it during a game. Cheers for the vid, looking forward to seeing a battle report.

Cheers for taking the time to put thsi review together, think I'll have to check this system out now. And nicely painted minis too!

I’m current uploading a solo battle using Baroque

@@CheckYourLeaderTV Nice will definitely check it out! Thanks again for the vid

[@Corvinuswargaming1444]

Extremely helpful presentation, the English of the rules is a bit dense but this explains them very clearly. I have to give Baroque another chance.

Another excellent video..watched it twice! Oh, and your ECW and TYW figures look pretty good too. So I'm a BIG ECW and even a Grand Alliance fan. It's hard to find some good rules for this period(s). I did find a pretty cool set called "Push-of-Pike" from the mid 90s. The author was from Australia, from New South Wales. These were my go-to rules for the period. Used a card system and Average dice. So with all that being said, I'm looking forward to your game play video. I do like the special characters you can add into the game...love narrative games...thus a BIG fan of the Lardies rules. Again, great video...keep 'em coming.

The author of ‘Push of Pike’ also owned ‘DAGGER TERRAIN’ and was a mate of mine. For the life of me I can’t remember his name. Nice bloke

[@redmist1122]

@@CheckYourLeaderTV On the back page of the rules cover, his name was Craig Burnett. I sent him an 'ol school letter about his rules, and later were did a few emails. Haven't heard from him since about 20 years now. But he was very happy I liked his rules and sent me a second copy. Have you played them before?

@@redmist1122 unfortunately not played Push Of Pike.

[@johnrohde5510]

Thanks for this. Just a thought but if you are using the 18cm frontage, it might be more convenient to use a BU of 10cm. It would be easier to measure and make no practical difference.

[@CheckYourLeaderTV]

Yes,.. I had considered that but considering I wanted to be as accurate as possible with my description of the rules I saw no point in confusing the issue. Without doubt if I had gone down that path I would have got someone saying I’d corrupted the rules 😁😉👍

[@scottrobertson1683]

One of my favourite sets of rules and have used them to play ECW, TYW and large Polish Deluge style games with my mate Nathan. Highly recommended and I look forward to seeing a Batrep.

[@mkcontra]

Love Baroque. Great video!

[@wc9109]

Nicely explained, even if you are a drop short! 😅😉. I have the rules but never played them, I do have two painted and based Nine Years War armies in 10mm which would fit into this period.

[@samb2052]

Great intro to the rules. Not sure I’m ready for the period but more knowledge is always better than less.

[@Kili121416]

I admire those committed enough to paint these beautiful armies. Looking forward to the battle report. March to the fire of the guns !

[@CheckYourLeaderTV]

I actually purchased these miniatures painted.

[@norm977]

Thank you.

[@leonleese4919]

English civil war armies were smaller than , say 30 years war armies this could cause problems?

[@CheckYourLeaderTV]

I can’t see how,… the armies are point based.

[@kmorton54]

I love the Pike and Shot Era. Good to see another set of rules for this period
