Title: Rules for Renaissance Batlles
Post by: Panzer-Kalle on 24 June 2017, 08:07:58 AM
Hi, I make just a check "What do I have?"

I bought some Pendraken figures a few years ago at german Ebay. A fellow offered quite a lot. I bought a few that I did use with my Warmaster Imperial Army.
As he couldn“t sell much (nearly no interest) I made him a special offer and when bought his whole collection! :-

Most are Renaissance (a lot of Ottomans). A lot are painted.

I am looking for a rule. I bought "English Civil War" (POLEMOS). Think the rules are ok. But would like to stay with the warmaster 40x20 bases.

Are there any Warmaster style rules for this period?

Cheers Kalle

You might also think about D&P's Baroque. Three of your 40mm pieces would make a standard 120mm unit (the depth isn't important).

Both Warmaster and Baroque would give good games. Similarly Basic Impetus 2, which is similar to Baroque, but with smaller armies and Italian Wars lists. The Ottoman Turks 1329 - 1524 can be found in volume 24 of the army lists - all lists are in the downloadable rulebook which costs less than a fiver from Wargame Vault.

I would go Warlords' Pike and Shotte or Baroque both good systems and would fit the basing system ok

A new set have appeared on the market called Furioso, sold by Alternative Armies. Basing looks to be DB-esque. Other than that I know nothing. Wargame terrain blogspot (wargameterrain.blogspot.co.uk) a try for regular updates on rules, figures etc.
