Was able to squeeze in a quick Italian Wars game using Kings of War Historical on Sunday last. French and Spanish/Imperial forces engaged at San Astica. Terrain established by randomized tiles. Standard Kings of War deployment (I go, you go, one unit at a time) Included a "horde" (double sized unit with higher 'Nerve' aka morale) of Swiss pikemen and of Landsknecht pikement for each side. French only had one regiment of the elite chevaliers/gendarmes rather than the usual two.

The scenario was to get as many of your units to opposite half of table as possible by end of game. The two hordes of pike ended up facing each other when deployment was over. Unfortunately, both sides were overly cagey and both hordes ended up barely moving and were routed from relentless missile fire. Whoops.
The French cavalry was again able to win the upper hand and things fell apart for the Imperial Spanish pretty quick after that.
A pleasant Sunday morning. What else can you ask for!? Elsewhere, making good progress on painting another 20 stradiots.
