Never Mind the Matchlocks is a complete set of pike and shot rules for gaming small battles in the English Civil War (and thereabouts!)

Although based on the popular Never Mind the Billhooks medieval rules, Matchlocks is a stand-alone game published in a self-contained 32-page magazine-style, full-colour booklet.

Two armies of around 150 28mm figures are required for play, along with a handful of six-sided dice, tokens, and cards – which can be downloaded from nevermindthebillhooks.com
