One table Italian Wars - Naples to the Alps, in 28mm
« on: 21 November 2017, 02:41:44 PM »
Last weekend I organised an Italian Wars campaign game. It was a table campaign without maps, because the table was the map and it stretched from Naples to the Alps and covered 432 sq feet. The game was fought out over two days by The League of Gentleman Wargamers. There were 14 competing players, plus myself acting as the umpire. On Sunday, there were over 3,500 figures on the table, which for Napoleonics isn't completely OTT but, I've never seen that many late 15 C / early 16 C figures in one place before.

I've posted a brief description of the game on my blog, with a few pictures. I thought you might find it interesting.
