Military History | Italian Wars
Wargaming Rules

There are a few choices out there. The ones I've poked a stick at are:

  • DBx - DBR are the rules I've used most for this period although in truth I never fancied them which is why I've not played Renaissance for a long time. There are also DBA variants out there for this period.
  • Maximilian - a DBx off shoot that is specifically for the Great Italian Wars. I've not tried them but some like them. 
  • Field of Glory Renaissance - I've played FOG and although I'm not a convert I think the renaissance version is worth a look.
  • Warmaster Historical - there is a renaissance version of Warmaster Ancients. I've not played it but given my experience of WMA I'm sure the game is fun. The Warmaster chaps do seem to be a bit light on historical simulation.
