More Italian Wars
Managed to get a second Saturday free this month and
took advantage of it to run another game of Italian Wars with
the Neil Thomas rules. Added another 5 units since the last game.
So about 15 units per side in this game.
Spanish vs French, with the Spanish defending the outskirts of a
small town, ie the church.
5 players and the game only took some 3 hours.
The rules are pretty basic, the new players picked them up quickly,
but they have subtleties. Which I'm slowly learning.
I need to hold my cav back a bit, because in the last few turns, mobility and the ability to strike
were everything. Also the Elites and Swiss are going to be major factors near the end, so stomp on them all you can! And now a few pics.
HOPING TO HIT THE 500 FIGURE MARK FOR THE NEXT GAME!

Italian Wars with Neil Thomas rules
Well after 20 years, of off and on planning and painting, my Italian Wars figs finally hit the table! I will not even mention how many times I've rebased some of the figs. Okay the Swiss have been rebased 4 times without ever seeing the table. But last year, Stelios introduced us to the Neil Thomas rules and suddenly it all clicked. So for a few months now I've been rebasing all my Italian Wars figs. And today we played! About 12 units per side. French vs Spanish with Italians, Swiss and Landsknecht all present. Played 2 games in about 4hours. Great fun! With no arguments over the rules!
