Want to refight Pavia, Naseby or Lutzen? Control to Catastrophe: Maximilian uses the same core mechanics as CtC: Caesar but extensively developed with special rules to account for this age of tactical experimentation and the emerging dominance of gunpowder weapons.
Control to Catastrophe: Maximilian is played on a gridded surface. This both suits the linear and generally contiguous nature of army deployments in pre-modern times and facilitates fast play; no fiddling with rulers. A CtC game usually lasts between 1.5 to 3 hours.
A gridded playing surface is also the ultimate solution to scaling. The same army can be represented with Units that are modelled with large numbers of figures on a big grid or very few figures/stands on a small grid. We have played CtC with Units up to 54 figures strong or the same Units being only 9 figures on a small table with small grid boxes. What miniature scale and Unit organization used is totally up to you and does not diminish the size of battle you are fighting.
