not a very constructive post, I know, sorry Exile...

For repentence, I promise to play your scenario as soon as it is released!

Never mind Vincent, the Swiss pikemen had their time in the sun in the second half of the 15th C. Maybe someone can make a scenario about this period

@Phenix - I'll see if I can draw the odd culverin and falconet

@Gagliaudo - The 'relationship' between Francis I and Charles V has always amused me. Charles, ever the dour and honourable gentleman, was forever defeating Francis and agreeing to ransom him as long as he'd be a good boy in future. Francis, the Machievellian Prince if ever there was one, broke his promises without fail as soon as he'd reached the safety of France.

OK Phenix, here's the complete unit set in gif format. If you let me know if any of the slots have changed I'll rearrange and send you a bmp for the scenario.

I've put Erwan's sig on his units, but I'm not sure where you got the ships from; are they Hardjoy's? If so, I'll put his sig on.

Let me know if you want anything changed.

OMG just look at that fortess!

Hi there folks, how ya' doin'?

I know it's been a while - but where do I download this piece?

I am especially interested in it as I wrote my M.A. thesis about the Sforzas of Milan ...

Excellent stuff - Some great new artys and fort unit!
Perfect for the many of the scenarios that are underway!

PS
Good to see you back, JP!

[jim panse]

Hiho, master Curt!

Such kind words from your mouth are certainly praise.

My computer crashed badly a couple of months ago, now as I am reviving it, it is (again) running more or less stable. To be frank, less stable than ever, but it is running. Stupid bastard machine

As things were, I lost all my data in said crash and it is just today that I installed Civ2 again - damn addiction

Having embarked on my PhD thesis project, however, makes me unsure if I could contribute more than subtle and less subtle remarks on other people's doings, though ...

[Eivind IV]

Amazing units, maestro! I'm awe-struck!

[curtsibling]

Jim - It is good to see you in any case!

I know about the damned machines, I always fear the day
when my PC goes belly up - No way to afford a new one!

PS
We hope you can get more involved when you get time.

All the best!

How do JP

My A-level History was Renaissance + Reformation; not quite as impressive as an MA though, and now you're doing a PhD

This one should be right up your street then. BTW, Exile hasn't released it yet, alhough its imminent - he's adding the final polish I believe.

(PS don't tell him, but I've already converted it to ToT, complete with proper gfx )

Quick off topic question for Gareth. How easy is it to convert a scenario from MGE to ToT? I remember seing something about it a Catfish's cave but I was just wondering how easy it would be for your average Joe like me! I will have a read of the docs at CC anyway

[curtsibling]

There should be a tutorial on the great library thread...

I'll take a look...

[McMonkey]

Tried to convert one of my scenarios, followed instructions in CC and failed miserably. Gave up. I may need some 'special' help with this, will start up a seperate thread so as not to clutter the Italian Wars.

[Exile]

Glad to hear it Jim . . . .

I'll send you the thing and you can begin playtesting immediately.

lol.

[jim panse]

Well, that is an offer

I can be found at stephUNDERSCOREsanderAThotmailDOTcom

[Exile]

Just send it to me in a pm so I can cut and paste.

Now I'll have to send Gareth this one too.

Gave him the Rome scen and then told him I'd let him have the Italy scen after that. lol.

But now I've got an ace tester for the Roman scen so it's ok.
