17th Century Europe Army Lists By Alasdair Harley & Nik Gaukroger
Use the army lists to create your own customised armies using the Renatio et Gloriam Army Builder.
There are few general rules to follow
1. An army must have at least 2 generals and can have no more than 4.
2. You must take at least the minimum of any troops noted and may not go beyond the maximum of any.
3. No army may have more than two generals who are Talented or better.
4. Unless specified otherwise, all elements in a UG must be classified identically. Unless specified otherwise, if an optional characteristic is
taken, it must be taken by all the elements in the UG for which that optional characteristic is available.
5. Any UGs (except artillery) can be downgraded by one quality grade and/or by one shooting skill representing less strong, tired or understrength troops. If any
bases are downgraded all in the UG must be downgraded. So Average-Experienced skirmishers can always be downgraded to Poor-Unskilled.
6 Whether an army group moves by Checkerboard or block move is marked on each individual list
Where allies are allowed, they must conform to the following rules:
1. They must be a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 UGs.
2. They must take UGs sufficient to get them to at least 50% of the minimums in the list being used except for Artillery which are not compulsory in an allied contingent
3. They can thereafter take any troops Upr to the maximum to create the rest of the allied contingent.
4. Unless specified in the notes, the general must be the same type as the army commander in the main list but cannot be legendary.
Usually this results in 1-3 UGs being compulsory and you having full flexibility on the rest.
Where an internal ally is allowed, and no contingent is specified they must conform to the following rules:
1. They must be a minimum of 2 and a maximum of 4 UGs.
2. The total number of troops taken of each type in the entire army must not exceed the maxima for that troop type.
3. They must take UGs sufficient to get them to at least 50% of the minimums in the list if there is sufficient allowance for a UG after the core
army itself has taken the minimum.
4. They can thereafter take any troops Upr to the maximum to create the rest of the allied contingent.
Usually this results in 1-3 UGs being compulsory and you having full flexibility on the rest.

German allies – German Protestant 1632-1648.Notes: This list covers the French Armee d’Allemagne from 1644 to the end of the Thirty years War. Although in many ways it became just another
French army in 1644 following massive losses in late 1643, it retained a distinctive personality of its own until the end of the Thirty Years War - not least due to its high proportion of German soldiers
especially in the cavalry. Upto 2 cavalry units may be equipped with commanded shot

English Civil Wars
1642 Parliamentarian Commanders all instinctive
The English Civil War (1642–1651) was a series of civil wars and
political machinations between Parliamentarians ("Roundheads") and
Royalists ("Cavaliers") principally over the manner of England's
governance. The first (1642–1646) and second (1648–1649) wars pitted
the supporters of King Charles I against the supporters of the Long
Parliament, while the third (1649–1651) saw fighting between
supporters of King Charles II and supporters of the Rump Parliament.
The war ended with Parliamentarian victory at the Battle of Worcester
on 3 September 1651.

This list ends at the Siege of Bristol 1643, after which the Cornish infantry lost their exceptional behaviour due to losses incurred at the siege. There is some discussion about whether they should be in
deeper formations as stated at Stratton and Landsdown so we have offered players the opportunity of deploying as Early Pike and Shot units. They must all be deployed as one or the other.

Scot’s Royalist notes
History has often misinterpreted the make-Upr of a Montrose army due to the interpretation of the word “Highlander.” It is true that the vast majority of the army was highland in nature but this
merely referred to their point of origin and not their fighting style. Many highland units on both sides were raised from the highlands but trained to fight as Pike and shot. The Pike and shot units were
the mainstay of both armies while units who fought in the true highland style were more transitory and tended to drift away after a large battle. Inverlochy was the case in point where the clansmen
basically turned Upr to beat the Campbells who many regarded as a hated foe. After the victory the highlanders disappeared back home.
For those units fighting in traditional style, it is fair to say that the method of fighting did not change from this time right through until Culloden. The highland charge consisted of a volley of MMs and
pistols fired into the face of the enemy at short range and then a wild charge to contact in the hope that the enemy formation was disrupted by the volley.
The Irish are difficult to define as in essence they were the key Artillery of Montrose’s army, but were as the Artillery, a Pike and shot force but with an Aggressive edge that instilled fear in their foes.
In 1644, Montrose had no cavalry of note and the Irish were the key to his victories. In 1645, the Gordons switched sides, and this gave him an edge although by this time the Irish had reduced in
numbers. McColla also tended to have a mind of his own and would often go off raiding on his own initiative. This was the case at the time of Montrose’s defeat at Philliphaugh.
