Hi all,

One of the topics of discussion on the Twitters when I did my review of the Furioso rule set was options for running a Campaign in the period.

To be honest it's perfect Campaigning territory, individual Condottieri fighting each other, for honour, power and standing, being hired and fired by the powerful City States involved, with lots of Machiavellian intrigue, what's not to like !

I found a set of Campaign rules from a Company called Real Time Wargames (new to me) and took a punt. They look ideal so I've had an in-depth look at them and done some videos as well.

Stand by for Incoming Campaign updates.

Thanks, I also know the author. But I didn't find them, if I did I would have reviewed them, I didn't, this is a review of the set I found.

Very interesting. I will definitely be following this tread, as I have wanted to tryout a campaign myself for quite some time.

Are you familiar with Foundry’s Condottiere Dogs of War game? The rules for wargaming are somewhat old-school and quite difficult to handle, as they require singlebased miniatures or a lot of bookkeeping, as soldiers can be both killed, panicked or dazed from combat. The campaign system on the other hand is great.

Cheers
Erik

Hi Erik,

Is that the Frank Chadwick set  ? It was one I have looked for in the past when I was searching for rules, but it has very mixed reviews so never bothered. Is it worth searching for ?

Regards Ken
The Yarkshire Gamer

Post by: RichBliss on January 12, 2020, 04:46:51 PM
It is the Chadwick set.  The tactical rules are adequate, but the campaign rules are quite good.  It’s worth having if you are interested in the period.
Title: Re: Italian Wars Project goes on Campaign
Post by: Erik on January 13, 2020, 08:03:50 AM
I agree with Richbliss. The book is also very nice with lots of pictures and a joy to browse. Even though I dont play the game the book is often out from the bookcase just because needed some light read.

Cheers

I use them for the Von Trinkenessen Chronicles, but there again I don't take things too seriously.
They would have benefited from a decent edit and more proof reading  o_o .
However my sons' love the fate deck and always like to zap dad just as I'm about to make my masterstroke..... :D

My basing is straight out of the 1980s  lol the green stuff is Basetex which is sold by colour party paints, it's a secret mix of paint and sand, used it since time began. Can't change cause all my stuff is based that way.

How are your Italians doing in your games? We had our first go at Furioso Tuesday and I must admit that my -2 initiative units did very little and ran away the moment my army took a few hits. With many units at minus on initiative and no hard hitters the Italians must be hard-pressed in a game.

I think I'll give the Spaniards a closer look next game. Very good on firepower and decent on combat.

Hi Erik,

Who are your Italians fighting against would be the first question. They are not a straight forward army to use well, you certainly need a lot more of them, especially Heavy Cavalry if fighting the French, at least twice as many units to get a good game.

Try using them with allies or add in more Mercenary Units,  Poor Initiative (unless you roll badly and end up minus) can be an advantage as you get to move after everyone else has.

Oh very nice. Good to see the metal crossbowmen in there too, not just the plastics - they're really nice sculpts.

Hi Matt, not sure if they work on here, I have been a bit lazy and just cut and pasted my Twitter post.

Excellent, i think I've said it before but I like the style of basing and the colours of the earth.

It gives the miniatures a grittier feel  :-* :-* :-*
