Sharpe Practice 2 Albanian and Greek feuds

Steve Barbers Greek War of Independence range lends itself admirably to the feudal wars that existed between Greek, Albanian clans

For inspiration read the Diamond of Jannina by William Plomer

I'm working on it.  Sadly I haven't even unpacked the Steve Barber models yet.

It would help immensely if Osprey ever did a book on the GWI.  Perhaps we need to petition for one.

Before Sharp Practice came along my thought was to do "Border Reivers" in Greece as a skirmish game.  I probably still could - the Venetian/Spanish would look like good old mid 16th C. blokes and the Turks/Greeks/Albanians seem to have changed their national constume little at all.  Malcolm's Agents of Empire mentions quite a few of these port raids along the Dalmatian coast  by a few galleys in support of 500-1000 men.

There were feuds between clans spanning centuries

You could do it in skirmish with Song of Drums and Shakos, too...lots of traits to individualize the variety in training and weapons and fighting styles...
