Here at Home of Wargamers, developer Byzantine Productions has announced Pike and Shot a deep strategy game based on the Battle Academy engine. Set during the bloody conflict of the Thirty Years War, Pike and Shot brings the Battle Academy engine to a whole new level.

In the age of Pike and Shot, mighty struggles erupted across Europe for causes religious, political or dynastic. The Thirty Years War raged across Germany and beyond, leaving devastation in its wake, but saw the rise of great commanders such as Count Tilly, Wallenstein and King Gustavus Adolphus of Sweden, and rapid developments in battlefield tactics. Musketeers �gave fire� in a duel to the death, pikeman held stolidly against enemy assaults, and cavalry charged to glory or defeat.

Pike and Shot will release later this year for PC, Mac and iPad

I've always thought this game engine would be great for this era and the Napoleonic era (or even ACW). My main concern is that I hope the AI can hold a believable enough formation set for the era represented.
