Admittedly, I'm reading Daniel Defoe's lesser-known Memoirs of a Cavalier, which is about a young English gentleman who fights first in the Thirty Years War, then is embroiled in the civil wars back home.
It would seem, to me, to be a ripe time for the usual sort of adventuring type behaviours, not least because there were mercenary companies around and about which make an idea PC organisation. There were also lots of local associations organised to fight and irregular warfare away from the standing armies too. The PCs as a troop of dragoons seems a pretty viable means of them getting involved in lots of things and having mobility too.
Anyone done something like this? Are there any games (besides pastiche like WFRP) that are set in this era?

[Historical-ish] Anyone playing games set during the wars of 17th century?
