I will follow! Love your work and I love the battle. That's very kind of you to say so. I've just posted a little info about some of the books that I will be using as source material: link Kind Regards,

Darrell, that is a beautiful looking model. But I can't help think how useful it would be on the battlefield. |

Darrell, that is a beautiful looking model. But I can't help think how useful it would be on the battlefield. Thanks. During the battle of Fornovo the Italians under Fanceso Gonzaga II undertook a doomed charge headlong into the gushing River Taro. It was to prove to be utterly pointless but no less heroic. It would be a shame to not attempt to assert the same heroics repeated on the tabletop. If the game turns out not to be so, then I can plonk it in the river as a sidepiece. Here's a pic from the Fornovo 1495 Osprey Campaign book illustrating the charge:
Kind Regards,
Darrell. |
