Part 1: Introduction
Part 2: Infantry weapons and organisation
Part 3: infantry missile weapons
Part 4: The artillery
Part 5: Cavalry weapons and organisation
Part 6: Henry VIII's army
Part 7: Irish army of the 16th Century
Part 8: The Universal Soldier
Part 9: Swiss
Part 10: The Turks - Part 1: the Spahis
Part 11: The Turks - Part 2: Janissaries and others
Part 12: The Scots
Part 13: the Polish Army
Part 14: Spanish infantry
Part 15: Spanish Ginetes to Caballos Corazas
Part 16: The French
Part 17: the Imperialists
Part 18: Persians and other easterners
Part 19: the Dutch army
Part 20: the Swedish army
Part 21: the Swedish army (continued)
Part 22: the Muscovites
Part 23: the Muscovites (continued)

These are old and sometimes inaccurate, but, still useful.

Thanks for this. It's a lot more use that his WRG Renaissance rules!

Still got a copy of them in my 'Sad Old Gits Rulebooks from the Distant Past' cupboard. How they worked for the rest of the Renaissance I have no idea, we only ever used them for ECW. When we started the options available were them or Newbury rules and they looked like a faster set.

I am still looking for a good set of Rennaisance rules.

The only modifiers NOT in the melee table were

"Is your commander in need of a Sh*t" -2
"Did your Commander get laid last night" +1

Woo hoo....bad old days.

Do you think anybody actually did all that ?
They must have been very committed to the period, or just committed.
