One never knew if a particular photograph had turned out until developed weeks later - remember Fotomat? - and, more than anything else, the cost of film and developing set a hard limit on the number of pictures one was prepared to take. I can recall having to do it more than once with my hands inside an empty duffle bag.
Built to last and weighing nearly enough to deny it modern carry-on status, its film had to be changed dexterously and in the dark. When I began traveling to Europe a lot of years ago my photographic weapon of choice was an old warhorse of a Konica 35mm SLR. Wherein our intrepid traveler deigns to report his on-the-ground experiences ~ Jim Owczarski, 28 October 2017 I suppose it is prudent to begin in the middle, at least as far as my trip is concerned, with my one-day drive to Schleiz and Saalfeld. It was one of four in the the tutorial campaign portraying the struggle of 17th century Transylvanian Boyars against the forces of the Holy Roman Empire. I then started the first tutorial mission. It had been a while since I had fired up Pike & Shot: Campaigns to look around, but I quickly downloaded literally dozens of fan made scenarios, including ones based on the 16th century Italian Wars, the early 18th century Great Northern War, a Gustavus Adolphus campaign and many more. If you include fan made scenarios and campaigns, Pike & Shot Campaigns covers warfare all the way up to the American Revolution and the American Civil War.
Pike & Shot is exactly the same, with the added bonus of covering European conflicts that are generally lacking in game coverage from the late 1400s to the late 1600s. In some ways they create a sense of tension usually reserved for playing against other humans, either digitally or in person in a board game. I love those games for their simplicity and also for the sense of urgency their turn-based structure creates. Our pint-sized pistoleer picks up Pike & Shot ~ Lloyd Sabin, 11 December 2017 If you include fan made scenarios and campaigns, Pike & Shot Campaigns covers warfare all the way up to the American Revolution and the American Civil War.Īs soon as I learned that the Pike & Shot: Campaigns engine was the same one used by the Battle Academy games, I knew I would be drawn in.
