The 18th and early 19th centuries were defined by revolution, reform, and the march of empires. From the disciplined formations of Marlborough’s troops to the sweeping cavalry charges of Napoleon, this era covers some of the most iconic battles and dramatic campaigns in military history.

This hub covers historical wargaming from 1701 to 1860 CE — a period dominated by line infantry, smoothbore muskets, artillery duels, colonial expansion, and radical shifts in doctrine.
Explore campaigns and content across:
  • 🎖 War of Spanish Succession & Seven Years War
  • 🗽 American Revolution & French Revolutionary Wars
  • ⚔ Napoleonic Wars (1803–1815)
  • 🏴 Haitian Revolution, War of 1812, and Latin American uprisings
  • 🏹 Crimean War & Pre–American Civil War
Inside you'll find: ruleset comparisons (Black Powder, General d’Armee, etc.), printable scenario packs, army builder tips, terrain advice, and campaign guides. This is the golden age of tactical maneuver — ideal for players who love planning volleys, managing morale, and leading lines of muskets across the field.
