Been wanting to do this for years. The Renaissance was the starting point for my degree studies, the French Revolution was the end. Am besotted with the period. As befits that the game I am going to design will be called "Chiaroscuro" (got to have he title first) and its going to be one where artists, humanists, reformers, and generals are more or less interchangeable. The Sources I am basing the work on are the classics. Burckhardt's The Civilization of the Renaissance in Italy, and Huizinga's "The Waning of the Middle Ages" and Hales "The Civilization of Europe in the Renaissance." |

Nice battle report Sarge! I have been tardy in getting in a game too. My 3mm Germans have been ready for quite a while now. My son and buddy still have not completed their opponent armies for me to battle. Guess I need to do my Americans and do it all myself! Thanks. John |

From his blog,
"Hi my stuff are based on 30mm squares and in this game I used 2 bases per unit but have also played with single base units. I just keep measurements as standard as max shooting range is 20" but again halving or using cms works " |
