Wargaming the Thirty Years War - our club’s project!

Our club project this year is the 30 Years Wars (30YW) in 28mm. We are mainly using ECW & 30YW minis from Wargames Foundry, Warlord Games, Old Glory and Perry.
We likely plan to use Pike&Shotte, or Kings of War for our rules. We are building the OOB for Breitenfeld and then will tackle Lutzen.
My flags are from Warfare Miniatures USA which has a nice, but small range of Imperialist flags. I ordered MDF bases from RavenBanner Games.
Terrain will be CigarBoxBattle mats with 3D printed buildings and model railroad trees. I hope to have everything painted and gaming by mid December.
What are you working on?

Pike and Shotte is pretty basic, but gets the job done. They don’t do a good job of simulating how the pike and musket formations worked tactically, but you can house rule to fix that. Baroque by Dadi is Piombo is another set of rules to check out. Alternative Armies also has a set of English Civil War oriented rules for the 17th century as well. For miniatures, The Assault Group makes a lot of nice 28mm renaissance figures that includes 30 Years War

I wish I had a historical gaming club where I am at, your project sounds like its off to a cool start. Always nice to have someone who is willing to build the other side. Pike and shot is fun for 30yw I think. Did you all consider the Epic Pike and Shot figures, or wanted to go 28mm?

I mean if he was doing a smaller scale I'd assume he'd want to use more accurate miniatures than Epic Pike and Shotte 😂😂😂 I'd choose 15mm/18mm anyway over 28mm simply because there's actual miniatures for the Thirty Years' War
