NZ Facebook group for 28mm 17th Century wargaming - shared by Josh Barton, 2 June 2022

Hey everyone I've created a New Zealand group for 28mm 17th century wargaming that is (at present) system neutral (I've had suggestions for Pike and Shotte, ADLG, DBR and DBMR so far), but I thought it'd be a good idea to get people together and then decide on a system so that we can get killing some papists/heretics/Turks/Christians (delete as appropriate) on the tabletop.

  Having played most of your list, you are clearly missing the best option.

  For King and Parliament.

    Philip Gates not heard of it! I'll look into it, but tbh I'm more interested in the 30 years war personally!

    It adapts brilliantly to TYW (my main interest) and other periods.

    I'd like to see what most people would like to play so that we can get a consistent community together  It's much better to have something like DBMM than to have 8 people playing 7 systems and never getting any games!

    True. It just depends on what you want from the games though.

      Philip Gates I know, but personally I'd rather have games than none, and most systems seem fairly flexible in what they offer
