link The last few weeks has seen the new Italian Wars Project reach the table for a spot of play testing. We tried a rule set called Furioso, which we all quite enjoyed. A few tweeks here and there but that's standard practice here at YG ! I think over the years only a couple of sets of rules have survived initial contact with the group. I have included lots of pics in the blog post as usual plus a text explanation of the rules with some videos coming soon. Enjoy Regards Ken

Good report and a great looking table. While I have the Furioso rules, I didn't get too excited while reading them, but will probably try them at some point. The Renaissance is a hard period to "do right". |

Excellent report. We are looking at our first game of Furioso in the new year so your house rules are very interesting. |

@Gamer, what brand are the pikemen in the second picture? |
| yarkshire gamer | 05 Dec 2019 5:49 p.m. PST |
Hi Uesugi, the second picture pike are all Perrys Miniatures a mixture of the ones in the plastic box set and the metal range. Regards Ken |

Really well painted figures as usual.
How do you find that Furioso handles really large pike blocks of say 100-200 figures? With the Pike and Shotte rules I have had to add some custom rules to handle anything larger than the usual 24-36 figure blocks.
The rules seem interesting and seem to give a flavor of the Italian Wars.
Based on your write up I have ordered myself a copy. Thanks for the review. |

Thanks Martyn, Our largest on table block was 64 Figures with the majority being 48 and we didn't have any problems. I can't see there being any issues with larger blocks, it just gives you more dice. Keep an eye out next week for some video run throughs. Regards Ken
