Hello all,
This is the 2nd Kickstarter for Masterstrock games "Force of Virtue" rules. Instead of being set in 1492 Rome, this one is set in the city of Gradara for the siege of 1446.

https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/force-of-virtue-sieg/force-of-virtue-siege-of-gradara#

The Kickstarter is to expand the rules for siege and mounted warfare. With accompanying card decks as well.

Force Of Virtue is a skirmish wargame set during the Italian Renaissance. Games can be played in under an hour once you've figure out the mechanics and can use plots and ploys (ambushes, poison characters, get the other side drunk the night before...etc) as well as a straight-out fight.

Some of the STL awards and levels of support will snag you.

If you are interested and would like to know more about how the game is played. fallow this link to how too videos and free tutorial rules

Everything seems to be back in working order.

Fully funded by the end of day one and blasted past 3 stretch goals.
These are for an expanded siege deck, armed peasant and on help reload and man the walls of your citadel.
The 3rd stretch goal is for a STL of a Briccola, a type of catapult.

Some interesting idea for scenarios and historical suggests for using these rules.

Just backed the Kickstarter,as I'm thinking the siege supplement will be perfect for the siege of Malta 1565.

Right, just use Any one of the current nation decks combined with fires of faith. And don't forget the two sieges of Rhoades that the knights of St John took part in.
