"Best Renaissance Movie for Wargamers (Round 1A)" Topic

Nobody put forward The Last Valley?

This is round 1A.
Choices are in alphabetical order. Last one here started with H. Look for L in next one.

This stretches "The Renaissance" from Agincourt to the Glorious Revolution--nearly three centuries. My History profs would stake me out on an anthill for that one. I picked some nice movies for wargamers, but let me explain The Quatrocento. I won't go past 200 years, even if we called it "Pike and Shot."

RP is right.

I blame WRG. Clearly they had rocketed past "Ancients", and needed a catch-all name for a different vaguely coherent period for new rules.
It's like naming the period from the English Civil War to the Franco Prussian War "Marlburian".
Come to think of it, there's probably a few unsuccessful rules out there that do cover that period. 🤷

Unless they're wearing codpieces and puffy shirts, it ain't "Renaissance".

Even WRG put 100 Years War and Wars of the Roses in their Medieval lists and not Renaissance. Henry V ain't Renaissance period in England!

I am not sure any Renaissance film is the best for wargamers. I mean how are movies like "The Other Boleyn Girl" best for wargamers?
