With Fire & Sword: The Thirty Years War (a SimCan Classic Reprint) by Stephen Newberg, P.L. Hollinger & John Kula

With Fire & Sword is a medium-complexity, two-player, strategic-level (30 miles-per-hex) simulation, with each turn representing one year from 1618 to 1648 and individual units representing entire armies. One player commands the Hapsburg forces, while the other runs the anti-Habsburg coalition. There are three scenarios with start times of 1618, 1630 and 1636. Each unit hides its strength on its reverse side prior to combat resolution. Special rules cover random events, sacking and rebuilding cities, killing leaders, wounding leaders, returning recovered leaders after a wounding, siege combat, field battles, and attrition. One 34×22” small-hex map and 200 small-size (half-inch) counters. By Stephen Newberg, P.L. Hollinger & John Kula.

BONUS GAME MATERIAL: a full second sheet of 5/8” large-size units for new scenarios for the three games in World War II Campaigns (1940, 1941 & 1942).
