The following are a series of video on a fictional battle using the Twilight of Divine Right rules. The fictional battle of Küchentisch is set in Germany in 1630 something. It was fought using two mixed armies designed to show most of the features of units in these rules. As such it has many more troop types and variations than is common in games using these rules. The two sides are equal in numbers of real men but due to the differing numbers of real men represented by different unit types the two sides do not have equal numbers of units. One side consisted of a mixture of Swedish army unit and their German allies. The other side consisted of a mixture of Imperial and Catholic League troops.
The battle is fought using the 'Twilight of Divine Right' rules but many of the procedures and principles are the same in the other rules in the series, although of course the details differ. The game is fought using 2mm Irregular figures although some other figures are also featured in the video, on a table about 3 feet (90cm) wide.
