Description

This standalone wargame utilizes the game system as 3W's 'Royalists and Roundheads'. The wargame features a command system intended to simulate the problems of command during the Renaissance where leaders are rated for command, initiative and combat.

The four battles are Pavia 1525, Garigliano 1503, Ravenna 1512, and Bicocca 1522.

Weapons in the game range from arquebusses, crossbows, cannon, pike and more. Units include stradiots, genitors, pikemen and more.

A followup Crossbows and Cannon II is available.
