FOG for 18th century?

Post by FOGwargames »

I find it curious that no FOG rules have yet to be written for the 18th century period. This is a serious gap in the military chronology between the renaissance and the Napoleonic periods.
Does anyone know why this has not happened?

Unfortunately FOG rules are not the force they once were and others have taken up the challenge.

Interesting point about the 18th-century FOG gap! Perhaps the complexity of combined arms tactics is a factor. This makes me think, imagine adapting that complexity to a game like Pokerogue and Pokerogue Dex , where strategic deck-building is key. A Pokerogue Dex expansion with 18th-century themed monsters and abilities would be fantastic! What other rulesets capture this period well?

I've wondered the same thing. The 18th century is a fascinating period with plenty of major conflicts the War of the Spanish Succession, the Seven Years' War, the Great Northern War, and many colonial campaigns so there's certainly no shortage of material. My guess is that the player base is more fragmented, with many people already invested in other established rulesets for that era, which may have reduced the demand for an official FoG version. It's definitely a period that feels underrepresented in the FoG lineup.
