Oh we know they are there. It's just that we don't want to admit it in polite company.  Rich |

I'm going to be releasing two lines of models for the Renaissance in the next few months, because a successful set of rules is expanding into that period, if that provides any sort of circumstancial evidence in this discussion. I think 1495-1700 is thought of as the "Renaissance" by gamers because Gush termed it so in what was the first set of rules specifically designed to deal with it. You start the period with armies fighting with armoured lancers or archers as their predominant troop type and end it with massed infantry forces with a long firearm, so you might see it as a military revolution (if you support that theory!) rather than a renaissance, but in any event it's a long and interesting transition period, making it hard for the average person to wrap their heads around, but very interesting under the right set of rules. |

proves himself a fan of splintered oars, crashing beakheads, and drummers yelling "come'mon, you scurves! The Captain wants to go water skiing, so pull harder!"
