To get some variety would the following work for Great Italian Wars. Using all the Swiss codes from the Mirliton Burgundian range? Using all of the men at war and gendarmes, including command, from the Mirliton Burgundian and Condotta ranges? Any of the 2 Mirilton ranges that are clearly too early for Great Italian Wars?

I have the entire Condotta range and it is late 15th century. I use it for Venetians upto the battle of Agnadello. The Swiss are a completely different time period, range and size. I assume the Burgundians are too. Mind you, I have not seen their Swiss since the early 90s so the could have been remade. I would get a few samples of each first to check it out.

In my opinion the Mirliton Condotta are too early and the Swiss are definitely 15th century not 16th. In general the Burgundian knights can be used to add extra variety to early armies (Agnadello – 1509) but not exclusively: the horse armour is 15th century. I have both Mirliton and Venexia in stock tinyurl.com/2lrnj3 -- Martin Stephenson Vexillia: Wargames Miniatures & Accessories vexillia.ltd.uk Personal web log vexillia.blogspot.com
