Ah this is some great stuff. really love it. I saw some of these on your blog already and you inspired me to do a german force too (probably not as acurate as yours  because I wouldnt know where to start) I'll be following this closely!

It has been a real slog as i am trying to research a small battle during a pretty uneventful campaign.
I have enough info now to crack on, i just hope I/google have translated it all properly....

If you need some german heraldry from the period this link may help

A slightly better picture. This time they are trying to hold the high ground from some slightly blurry Italians!

cheers

I hope to rectify this soon!

Really nice work!
I've always thought there was a lot of unexplored wargaming potential in 15th century Germany for Anglophone gamers

Late to the party, but well done and blog followed!  :)

Germany and the Low Countries have really been ignored, that being said you would think the French disarmed between the HYW and the Italian Wars too.

That looks like quite some models finished already though. What system will you look for to play this with and how many mini's does that aim for?

Very well done indeed, and a refreshing change from Wars of the Roses.

In the end i'll probably use hail caesar. As i build the forces i will be playing Days of Knights by Chipco as it requires less model count. i'm also looking at doing a few of the lighter troops on single bases for some skirmish action, Either using the lord of rings or lion rampant rules.
