A Military Revolution: A Renaissance in Warfare
The Battles for Northern Italy, 1495-1544
The Men of Iron series takes you to one of the crucibles of medieval warfare - Nothern Italy. Here, over a fifty year period, medieval warfare evolved from the dominace of heavy cavlry and the dense Swiss pike-armed formations to the preeminence of the Landsknechts. Gone were the days when dense pike formations could break opposing lines with impunity. Even the primitive arquebus could inflict grievous casualties on the tightly-packed pikemen.
ARQUEBUS uses the popular "Men of Iron" mechanics with much concentration on detail of weaponry, from the differences between closed formation and open, to the decline of the Swiss (pas d'argent? pas de Suisse), and the rise of the German Landsknecht, the major force in warfare of the era and, ironically, the best-dressed men in Europe. Yes, Landsknecht uniforms literally set the fashion trend at the time for the entire western world.
Arquebus shows all of this in true die-rolling glory, featuring 8 major battles : Fornovo, Cerignola, Agnadello, Ravenna, Marignano, Bicocca, Pavia and Ceresole. These are all really great game-players, with all but two of them half-mappers playable in 3 hours or less.
