About the game
Description from the publisher: Horse and Musket: Sport of Kings is the first expansion to Horse & Musket: Dawn of an Era. This volume will cover warfare from 1721-1748, when linear musket combat approached its apogee. Large armies of well drilled infantry used volley fire and bayonet charges in set piece battles. Horsemen were used almost exclusively for charges, and artillery was increasingly mobile. Great commanders such as Nader Shah and Maurice de Saxe left their stamp on military history. The period also saw the emergence of Frederick II of Prussia, known to most as Frederick the Great. The battles include... Gulnabad - March 8, 1722 – Zenith of the the Hotak Dynasty Mehmandost - September 29, 1729 – Safavid Restoration Samarra - July 19, 1733 – The Fate of Baghdad San Pietro - June 29, 1734 – The Blurred Line Between Bold and Reckless Guastalla - September 19, 1734 – The Day the World Lost Ogoula Tchetoka - March 25, 1736 – Father Senat’s Hymn Ackia - May 26, 1736 – Bienville’s Blunder Karnal - February 24, 1739 – Death Knell of the Mughal Empire Grocka - July 22, 1739 – The Treaty of Belgrade Stavuchany - August 17, 1739 – Stănileşti Avenged Fort San Lazaro - April 20, 1741 – “To Admiral Vernon, the scourge of Spain” Mollwitz - April 14, 1741 – “We'll retreat over the bodies of our enemies.” Chotusitz - May 17, 1742 – Frederick II's First Victory Fontenoy - May 11, 1745 – “Gentlemen of the French Guards, fire.” Hohenfriedberg - June 4, 1745 – Der Hohenfriedberger Marsch Prestonpans - September 21, 1745 – Accidental Cannae Soor - September 30, 1745 – “God is against us.” Kesselsdorf - December 15, 1745 – “O Lord God, let me not be disgraced in my old days.” Culloden - April 16, 1746 – Tragedy on the Moors Lauffeld - July 2, 1747 – Ligonier’s Charge
