Some great looking scenery.  A good table always makes the games feel more real and exciting as well as looking amazing.  Can't wait to see how this unfolds.

Heavy Artillery



I really like the Wargames Foundry guns and crew, they have lots of character.

Fabulous! I have a handful of figures for this period and your work is really tempting me to get more serious.

Excellent stuff.  I recognise some of the figures but not all.  Care to tell us who makes them? Cheers

Thank you for posting, seeing threads like this refreshes my enthusiasm for my own Italian Wars project.

Interested in seeing how well Furioso works in 28mm.

There's a great run through of Furioso in 28mm on Ken's aka Yarkshire Gamer's Blog here:

http://yarkshiregamer.blogspot.com/2019/12/lets-play-italian-wars-furioso-style.html

He's also done a series of YouTube videos that go into the mechanics in a more fluid manner:

Part One

Part Three

Part Four

I hope that helps a wee bit :)

Thank you Darrell, these links are really helpful for people.

Ken is also writing a book on the period from a wargaming perspective.
