I'm getting ready to run a Burgundian vs. Swiss game of Poleaxed. Each unit has a commander. I'm a lazy sod. Anyone got Burgundian and/or Swiss names for me to pencil in? Thank you. |

For Swiss names google the Swiss national soccer team |

For Swiss:
Adrian von Bubenburg
Hans von Hallwyl
Nicholas Diesbach
Hand Waldmann
Peter Rot
Nicklas von Scarnachtal Burgundians
Antonie, Bastard of burgundy
Duke of Romont
Count of Campobasso
Phillipe Pot
Phillips de Croy
Louis de Chalons Hope they help, have a great game.

"google the Swiss national soccer team" -- this is excellent advice, and a method I've often used. If you need more "country" names, you can check local football/soccer teams. There's also the classic RPG resource, Kate Monk's Onomastikon: tekeli.li/onomastikon |

There is also an excellent sourcebook from Freezywater publications that lists lots of Burgundian commanders (including their personal livery). |
