Horse & Musket

Horse & Musket (H&M) is a tactical system covering the development of musket warfare from the late seventeenth century through the middle of the nineteenth. Our first volume begins with the battles of Vienna (1683) and Sedgemoor (1685), while our sixth will conclude with Appomattox (1865) and Königgrätz (1866). After the American Civil War, and the triumph of Prussian tactics at Königgrätz, warfare moved away from cumbersome muzzle-loaded weapons to faster, more efficient breechloaders – a dramatic shift in the way battles are fought.
