Interesting. Traditionally, the Baroque period runs from c.1675 – c.1775, so these miss out three quarters of it and add over a century that precedes it. |

The Baroque period started around 1590s in Rome, Italy and probably ended around 1725-ish. You're thinking of Rococo, which dominated much of the 18th century artistic movement. |

Well as these are styles of Art/Architecture anyway it doesn't really have a bearing on war stuff.
I am fighting here in a Rococo fashion… |

The arts tend not to overlap perfectly. Music tends to lag behind the visual arts for instance. Debussy was probably 20 years behind Monet for instance. Most commentators put the Baroque solidly in the 17th century so the title above fits with the period. |

Well as these are styles of Art/Architecture anyway it doesn't really have a bearing on war stuff. Well maybe to the backwards English and barbarian French. 😀
The same can be said of the term Renaissance. Not really a renaissance of warfare, nor a style of warfare, but a description of the period in which the wargame rules are set. There was no "Baroque" style of warfare. |
