Wargaming under the rule of 6 continued with Renaissance game. Chris kindly brought over his magnificent collection of Renaissance figures – which we told were a product of the Lockdown. It was French, Italian and Swiss against Spanish, Landsknechts and Venetians.

Phil and I played the French and Chris, Brian and Philip Marshall played the Spanish & Venetian. Both sides left flanks collapsed our Burgundians were crushed by Spanish Colunela whilst the Landsknechts were mowed down by the Swiss pike. The centre was largely Spanish held wit [some French Gendarmes on the way to see if they could clear them. A great game and absolutely fantastic figures.
