Gå På
Wargames rules for the War of the Spanish Succession and the Great northern war
"Gå på" is the Swedish command phrase for infantry attack in the early 18th century, and also the term used to describe the spirit and tactics of the Swedish army in English language literature.
It is also the name of one of the most successful miniature wargames for the WSS and GNW. The rules model the differences between the varying tactics, and uses the battalion as the basic unit, as this was the smallest tactical unit in battles of the period.
The rules are not designed for any particular miniature scale, and basing is rather free, allowing you to use whatever miniatures you desire.
The rules use a rather abstract system to capture the atmosphere of the 18th century battlefield, but still contain enough detail to give the different armies character. Included in the main rules you will find a number of basic army lists for the major combatants. If you want more detail, and more armies, the companion Army Lists book contains a wealth of information - portraying all armies involved in the two conflicts, plus a few more, including Jacobites and Ottomans.

I have been looking for rules for this period for almost a decade now. Until now not one met all my requirements for the period. I think your rules are the perfect set for the period.
