From: "David S. Bieksza" Subject: SPI Ad: Renaissance of Infantry (5/8) RENAISSANCE OF INFANTRY (Tactical Warfare, 1250AD to 1550AD) * 20 different scenarios * Melee and Fire combat * Bonus _PanzerBlitz_ mini-game Re-fight the battles of Bannockburn, Crecy, Biococca, Agincourt and many more. _Renaissance_of_Infantry_ marks the beginning of a whole new line of games. The units in the game are composed for no more than 500 men. Each hex represents 100 meters and each turn represents some 20 minutes. During this historical period, the mounted "man at arms" (or "knight in shining armor") fell prey to the better organized and disciplined infantry. After eight hundred years of dominance, the armored horseman again became a second class warrior. The game shows how, and why infantry lost their traditional dominance -- and how they regained it. There are 20 different games. Each is an historical battle with its own order of battle, set-up and victory conditions. Some of the units in the game are: Militia Pikemen, Crossbowmen, Pikemen, Arquebusiers, Swordsmen, Longbowmen, Heavy Cavalry. Also included is issue 22 of S&T. This includes another game, a preview of Avalon Hill's _Panzerblitz_ and an article on its development as well as an article on the Renaissance of Infantry and another on the development and use of the Me-109 fighter. ------- Dave Bieksza bieksza@aplcomm.jhuapl.edu ------- Where monsters rampage, I'm there to take them down ...
