.Breitenfeld : Thirty Years War series by SPI
.
Part of SPI's Thirty Years War  series, this covers the first major battle between the Swedish Army of Gustavus Adolphus and the Imperialist Army (commanded by Tilly) on September 17, 1631. This represents the first major clash between the "Spanish" tactical system, which had dominated European warfare, and the first "modern" army. This originally came in 2 formats - in a "QuadriGames" format (with all four of the games in the series) and a Folio edition, where the games were sold seperately. It was later released in Strategy & Tactics Magazine # 55.

Game components include : Mapsheet, 100 Counters, Die, Standard Rules for "Thirty Years War" & Exclusive Rules for "Brietenfield". Folio & Magazine editions did not have die.

Two players. Ages 12 & up. SPI from 1976 --- also available in Strategy & Tactics Magazine # 55.
