If twere me, I'd go for the late Italian Wars or the early French Civil War and include some Spanish from their Conquistadore range. Then I'd start with forces for a small skirmish of the sort one finds in Mont Luc. <br /><br />Perhaps a Spanish detachment sent out to seize a bridge guarded by Landsknechts in German pay. Say a Spanish General with escort a company of 8 musketeers and another of 8 sword & bucklermen, a troop of perhaps 8 mounted arquebusier and some mercenary landsknecht say 8 arquebusier and 24 pikes/halberds. <br /><br />The French would have a General and a troop of gensdarmes, a cannon, 8 arquebusiers and perhaps 24 pikes and others. <br /><br />So starting forces of around 100 figures but including all arms and a game on the table. If not tired of stripes by then you can increase.<br /><br />Ross Mac rmacfa@gmail.comhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04053555991679802013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15312232.post-41205658820120470882013-06-08T00:28:43.520+10:002013-06-08T00:28:43.520+10:00What stops me from doing something like this is th...What stops me from doing something like this is the multi-year commitment.
