As reported here earlier we played a Great Northern War scenario using Black Powder as the ruleset. As the Great Northern war falls just outside of the purview of these rules — not in chronology but rather in weaponry and tactics — we used a number of adaptations to the rules.

The below document, now christened Great Northern Powder, repeats these adaptations, with a few modifications brought upon by the experience of the game and with everything dolled up a bit as well.

Great Northern Powder (606Kb)

Differences with the earlier version are:

• Slight rewording
• Further clarified pike rules
• Upped cavalry HtH stats
• Included sample unit stats

Feel free to use and adapt these in your own games. The version linked above is the low resolution version. If you want to print it, send me an email and I’ll send the hires version (though be warned that that’s a lot bigger).
