The Fate of Reiters: Five Battles of the French Wars of Religion

The Fate of Reiters: Five Battles of the French Wars of Religion 1562-1598 is a new game of the series Par le Feu, le Fer et la Foi (in English: "By Shot, Shock and Faith") and allows the simulation of the Religious Wars that occurred in France from 1562 to 1598. This civil war opposes, in a first conflict phase, Protestants - otherwise known as Huguenots - to Catholics, then Royalists to Holy League members after the accession of Henry IV to the throne in 1589.

The art of war during this period of the Renaissance is rapidly changing. The great feudal landlords, steeped in morals, fight alongside mercenaries motivated by sole cupidity. The diversity of the weapons that are used offers great tactical possibilities, based on impact and fire. Gendarmes, cuirassiers, reiters, harquebusiers, lansquenets and Swiss mercenaries confront each other in a merciless fight.

The Fate of Reiters is a Grand-Tactical board-wargame which, for the first time, allows the simulation of five battles of that era:

COGNAT : January 6th, 1568

DORMANS : October 10th, 1575

AUNEAU : November 24th, 1587
