Landsknecht (game)

Modern Conquest and War Games

Landsknecht is a 1987 board game published by the Italian company International Team. It is a two-player wargame simulating fifteenth-century militia clashes, named for the Landsknecht mercenary infantry of the period, with a tactical scale that supports customizable companies and scalable difficulty across battles involving up to roughly 300 individual units. The game reflects International Team's output of historical tactical wargames covering pre-modern European warfare rather than the firearms-era conflicts more typical of the wider wargame hobby.
