Title: What other conflicts can I use generic Spanish/Italian buildings for?
Post by: dr beard on June 22, 2022, 01:10:21 PM

I've been working on some 15mm Empires at War Spanish/Italian buildings which I'd bought for a WW2 Italian Campaign.  Aside from the obvious like the Spanish Civil War, Carlist Wars and the Peninsular I'm wondering what other conflicts can I use them for? 

Realistically how far back would they be accurate for? 
What other parts of the world are they good for?

Here's a selection with all of them on my blog:

Any guidance would be really appreciated.

Pirates, The Prisoner, Modern Mediterranean (Crime gangs/ Zombies/Separatist 'Civil' wars/
Italian Unification (Garibaldi) /Renaissance/Tricorne (7YW/ WSS/French expansion)/ Alien
invasion & Pulp,  to name but a few.

Should be suitable for most Mediterranean countries, or countries colonized by said
countries, e.g. Mexico/ Brazil/ Peru etc.

To my Northern European eye, they look Italian enough to be used in conflicts like the Italian Wars of 1499-1504, the Unification of Italy or the Italian wars of Independence (all 3).

But maybe I'm very much off; I'm not that well versed in Southern architecture I must admit...

Spanish? So Peninsular War Napoleonic... Mexico?

Any conflicts around the Mediterranean Sea and covering a good few hundred years worth I would imagine.

I plan to use similar building for Pulp games in the Philippines.

I would say for Mexico & Tex Mex. To me at least they wouldn’t look out of place for Mediterranean renaissance/ medieval
