L'Art De La Guerre Rennaisance - two games

Another double outing for LADG Renn today with Stephen.

We played a couple of Thirty Years War games with early and late versions of Stephens Swedish army and my Imperialist Catholic army.

Both very enjoyable games although my dice rolls were truly terrible once again, so bad in second game Stephen was apologizing to me for my dice rolls !!

Think we have these rules pretty well down now with the only query we had today being with rear support rules, as it seems a single base of cavalry can support up to five infantry units lying in its front 'zone' which seemed rather potent.




Early period game (1631AD) with Imperialist infantry arrayed in Tercios and Later tercios 







Imperialst Reiters and Pistoleers face more numerous Swedes mounted wing






These Tercios were shot to bits (with little reply) by Swedish artillery and muskets







Later period game with pike and shot units in lieu of Tercios






Imperial lines






Swedes with Regimental gun attachments

  2. A good looking table, one of the locally favorite eras to game with such a variety of troop types!
