Lovely stuff! Looks really impressive.

How well does Swordpoint work for Pike and Shot wargaming? I got the 1st edition rulebook a few years ago for medievals but haven't touched it since then. If it can be stretched to the 17th century I'd like to give it a try.

Great looking game.  Cerignola is one of the most interesting battles of the Italian Wars and a real turning point as Gonzalo Cordoba changed tactics after his defeat at the Battle of Seminara (1503).

I would be very interested in hearing about this too. Were any tweaks necessary? How did the large pike blocks fare?

Very nice, I do like Italian Wars
