I think it went away in one of the purges. The scans of the charts certainly evoke memories (not only of this set, but of the era). <br /><br />Excellent point about the lack of period feel. These (and other) rules of the time translated all of the very detailed attention to the period into factors, tables, and charts that, ironically, wound up given all of them the same feel, regardless of era.Ed Mhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11486985414917229516noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104033161539896981.post-71138477948854877212016-10-27T08:54:42.456-04:002016-10-27T08:54:42.456-04:00Hendrid thanks for your kind comments.

Renaissance warfare already has a bit of a reputation with some gamers as being a rock-scissors-paper period (pike beats Cav; Cav beats shot; shot beats pike). Having good, fun rules can fix that.<br /><br />If I can ask, if you still play this period, what rules do you use?cturnitsahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08380005283710973072noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4104033161539896981.post-91864667003524504772016-10-27T05:09:49.904-04:002016-10-27T05:09:49.904-04:00Totally agree with everything said here on Tercio....Totally agree with everything said here on Tercio. Our gaming group went through same process of nothing but Tercio but it quickly felt stale with predictable melee results and didn't give the fell of the period. We tried the rules again fairly recently for nostalgia reasons but they were a bit of a trial now adays.<br /><br />I do have a penchant for old school rules and these (and others in the stable) do have a place in the wargaiming history books. Nice review. Hendridhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17336497594850535093noreply@blogger.com
