Title: Nosworthy Tactical Studies
Post by: besilarius on March 28, 2020, 12:24:09 PM: Brent Nosworthy has posted a number of new pieces on the website of Venture Miniatures.
At least four are free. These are on the gunpowder age and address the different ways armies developed tactics in this era.
One unusual piece is on the Albanian light cavalry, Stradiots. These were mercenaries in the Italian Wars. The effect of black powder on their uses and tactics is a good study.

Ooh, I need those. Great find! Thanks!

Especially since I'm probably doing a game on the Italian Wars soon.
