All is lost save Honour

descriptif éditeur :

We had to make a selection of all those campaigns fought in Italy during the Italian Wars. The five campaigns we have included are:
- Agnadello 1509, Venice defends its Republic against her foes.
- Novara 1513, the Swiss against the French army. The last triumph of the Swiss.
- Marignano 1515, Franois I grabs the Duchy of Milan from the Swiss
- Bicocca 1522, the French lose the Duchy of Milan
- Pavia 1525, Franois I loses the largest battle and Milan to the Empire

This is the time of charges of cavalrymen with the finest gliding armours; of the first use of effective firearms and artillery; sieges, mercenary troops, treachery, pillaging and all that chrome that may enlighten a wargame.
