"Italian Wars (Wars of the League of Cambrai) boardgame?" Topic

Hi

I've been doing some reading up on the Italian Wars, especially, the Wars of the League of Cambrai of 1508-16 as it seems particularly rich in battles & actions.

Does anyone know of any boardgames based on this?

Thanks

There's not many Renaissance games period, so it's a tall order. A campaign game that is a bit pricey (looks beautiful however) is this one:

I remember that there was one campaign game on the Italian wars for download free in the net, but for the heck of it I cannot remember the name nor find the copy I got…

I also have ALBH, which is a good campaign simulation. I am sure there is a way to use it as scenario generator for Tabletop games (Impetus or FOGR), but yet lacked the time to figure out how.

Pike and Plunder can be used as a boardgame alone. Its a great set and we have used it for campaigns at the club.

thoroughly recommended!

Yep, that was the one…

Just ordered it for the v2.

I was a bit unhappy that the HRE was not at least a non-player faction – as Maximilian had his own plans for Northern Italy and Imperial armies were independent and contingents worked in Spanish or French armies as part of his diplomatic activities.

Anyway, I always though the Italian wars would make a good block game, like Hammer of the Scots of Columbia games, with several factions and perhaps players swapping when one party succumbs.

Thanks guys
