You might want to try the Vinkhuijzen collection website, although some of the labelling isn't too clear:

I've seen discussions on the "new" version on other forums, and the consensus seems to be that the rules themselves haven't changed much; I won't be buying them, as I've done some "in-house" amendments for TYW which we use at Northolt, so no point for us. That said, 1644 is a good set of rules, givi...

I'm for option 4 as well - a tenner or so for a set I can flash round the club to heighten interest would be dosh well spent.

Hi, John, welcome to the site. :) A couple of years ago, I discovered Venexia Figures, from Italy - some of the best 15mm I have seen for years, in any period. They are available in Oz, through Olympian Games in Canberra - website http://www.olympian-games.com/ The Venexia site is at: http://www.ven...

Relieving the Siege of Julich (or not, as it happens)

Funny how things come together, isn't it. A few weeks ago, there was a thread on here about using the "1644" rules for 30 years War, so I managed to get hold of a copy, but taht was as far as it went, until I recieved the latest copy of "Arquebusier" for the Pike & Shot Society. Inside were a couple...

1644

Used 1644 last night for the first time, and was very impressed. We fought a "what if?" action from 1610 (see the TYW/ECW forum for more details) with some house amendments relating to the period, and everyone had a great time.
Thanks to every one who recommended the rules.

TYW flags

Does anybody have any suggestions on sources for flags in the 30 Years War? I have details of Swedish, Saxon & Imperialist flags & banners, but I would like a few more options, especially for the German states on both sides.

Barry - any idea where I can pick up a copy of the rules ? - I can't say I've heard of them, but I could do with a decent set of TYW rules. My Saxons need to get out more, instead of pretending to be English Royalists :lol:

Thanks
