In 2001 I published a set of Fast-Play Rules for the Marlburian Period on this site. Andrew Coleby took these as a basis, refined them through play testing, and arranged for them to be published. They have since appeared as:
- Coleby, A. and Thomas, S. (2005). Malplaquet Scenario: Including Fast-play Marlburian Rules. Miniature Wargames, 271, 20-24.
- Coleby, A. and Thomas, S. (2008). Twilight of the Sun-King: Fast-play rules for the Marlburian Period. The Pike and Shot Society.
- Coleby, A. and Thomas, S. (2010). Twilight of the Sun-King: Fast-play rules for the Marlburian Period (Version 1.1). The Pike and Shot Society.
What you'll find here:
- Design Notes
- Optional Rules
- 30 YW Variant
- Rules 2001 version
- Army Lists
- Alternative Army Lists
- Almanza Scenario
- Chotusitz Battle Report

The group focuses on the rules as published by the Pike and Shot Society. Aside from rules discussion there are also some great photos of battles using the rules.
