THIS IS AN EXPANSION. You need "Horse & Musket: Dawn of an Era" to play this game.

The original conception of Sean Chick’s Horse & Musket was a six-volume series that begins in the age of Eugene and Marlborough, takes us through the times of Frederick the Great, George Washington, and Napoleon, ending in the era of Grant and Sherman. Central to this concept was the idea that there was room for more - that fans of the series could expand upon Mr. Chick’s foundations and build in new and interesting directions. This idea reaches its fullest expression in Horse & Matchlock.

Mr. Chick’s system has been adapted by Johan Brattström to create a new “prelude” volume - with new unit types and firing procedures - that embodies the tactics and technologies of the era of Tilly and Gustavus Adolphus, Oliver Cromwell and Rupert of the Rhine, Condé and Turenne.

Mr. Brattström has designed twelve scenarios drawn from the great battles of the Thirty Years War, the Franco-Spanish War, Franco-Dutch War, and Scanian War. Mr. Chick’s long-standing interest in the Stuarts has resulted in ten battles from the English Civil Wars and Montrose’s campaigns in Scotland. Together these twenty-two scenarios provide many hours of enjoyment that give you a fuller picture of the later radical shifts in doctrine and advancements in armaments that would change how battles are fought, how wars are won, and how the fates of nations are decided.

The twenty-two scenarios in this set are:

White Mountain - November 8, 1620 - Last Stand of the Bohemian Revolt
Wimpfen - May 6, 1622 - Slow Grind to Victory

Pdfs included are probably unfinished version ("v0" ?)
just judging after first scenario (White M.) I had to look for help on BGG, because some of the units on map are not described and some Scenario Rules are unfinished.
C'mon guys.. its a money... such blunders destroys Morale Points from 4 to 1 in seconds ;)

Scanned image
These products were created by scanning an original printed edition. Most older books are in scanned image format because original digital layout files never existed or were no longer available from the publisher.

For PDF download editions, each page has been run through Optical Character Recognition (OCR) software to attempt to decipher the printed text. The result of this OCR process is placed invisibly behind the picture of each scanned page, to allow for text searching. However, any text in a given book set on a graphical background or in handwritten fonts would most likely not be picked up by the OCR software, and is therefore not searchable. Also, a few larger books may be resampled to fit into the system, and may not have this searchable text background.

For printed books, we have performed high-resolution scans of an original hardcopy of the book. We essentially digitally re-master the book. Unfortunately, the resulting quality of these books is not as high. It's the problem of making a copy of a copy. The text is fine for reading, but illustration work starts to run dark, pixellating and/or losing shades of grey. Moiré patterns may develop in photos. We mark clearly which print titles come from scanned image books so that you can make an informed purchase decision about the quality of what you will receive.
