Army of Gonzalo Fernandez de Cordoba (1453–1515), El Gran Capitan (The Great Captain)- None AI Slop!


For regular readers of my blog, here's the original image of the Spanish Sword and Buckler unit I had painted for the army of Gonzalo Fernandez de Cordoba in the original photograph.

I have the same sane misgivings about AI as many and just wanted to show I haven't lost my mind and to reassure people that the blog will continue in it's normal format- none AI!

Cheers for now..

Experiment.....

I'm unsure about this; it seems more otherworldly than a match to a Renaissance Tapestry..... 


What do you guys think?

Do not worry, I will not be doing many- I was just interested in what was possible.

Battle of ???, Society of Ancients, Battle Day in the North Run Through #2

We fought another run through of a game we have planned for the Society of Ancients, Battle Day in the North last week in an attempt to balance out the game as the WAB V.2 rules are they stand, almost certainly result in a very swift, if not immediate, victory for the Scots We wanted to have a more balanced game so a bit of tinkering was in order, still very much leaning in the favour of the Scots.

Basically, we reduced the effectiveness of the Scottish Schiltron rules when attacked by Cavalry, not completely, but just little, and hey presto- it worked! The game, won by the Scots over a period of many turns was a very satisfying. 

In the interests of not giving the battle away (if you know, please keep stum!) I'm not going to describe the ups and downs of the game but simply leave you with these images to mark the event "sorted" for later in the year.
