Historical Notes Some point at or after 1291, the cantons of Uri, Schwyz, and Unterwalden united to defend their interests after the death of Emperor Rudolf I of Habsburg, forming the nucleus of the Old Swiss Confederacy. By 1353, the three original cantons had been joined by the cantons of Glarus and Zug and the city states of Lucerne, Zürich, and Bern, forming the "Old Federation" of eight states that persisted during much of the 15th century. At the battle of Sempach 1386, the Swiss defeated the Habsburgs, gaining increased autonomy within the Holy Roman Empire. Troop Notes Swiss armies of this period fought in a single deep block. Most successes were in difficult terrain and used field defences or surprise flank attacks. Troops were armed with axes, twohanded swords and spears but the most common weapon was the halberd. Command was run by committee, hence no option for a legendary general. UG Size Version 1: 31 st August 2017

A Feudal CinC may have up to 1 Feudal subgeneral, 1 Feudal ally general and 2 Communal ally generals. A Communal CinC may have up to 2 Communal subgenerals and 1 Feudal ally general. An allied general must command their own contingent. A CinC and subgenerals may combine their contingents. The minima and maxima apply to each contingent. *Menatarms with less armour may form up to 1/2 a TuG of 4 or 6 menatarms. **Guildsmen with plancon may be deployed separately or 2 elements of be attached to TuGs of Guildsmen to create a TuG of 8. ***English longbowmen must be attached to a TuG of either Guildsmen or Archers to create a TuG of 8. Only one contingent may include English longbowmen. All infantry TuGs may be equipped with the Obstacles characteristic, representing ditches or similar obstacles. Historical Notes This list covers the urbanised provinces of the Low Countries Flanders, Brabant, Hainault, Holland and the Bishopric of Liege. Flanders was incorporated into Burgundy in It also covers the communal armies of the Low Countries cities. Troop Notes Tribal Loose ARTILLERY The main armanent of the Low Countries states was a pike. At this time the Guildsmen were not so well organised so it is treated as a long spear. Armies preferred defensive positions.

15 Notes Troop Notes Early 100 Years War English Minima in a Gascon contingent only apply if the Gascon contingent is taken. A TuG of 6 longbomen may add a single base of menatarms to create a TuG of 7. The menatarms base is placed in the centre of the front rank to stiffen the archers. Note: If Barricades are taken, at least half of the Longbowmen must be so equipped. The menatarms are an exception to the normal 50% rule. MenatArms and Longbowmen may pass through each other in the Movement Phase without causing KaBs on either. Knights can always be dismounted as Formed Close,, Fully Armoured, 2H Cut & Crush, Melee Expert (even where they do not have that characteristic while mounted). Hobillars can always be dismounted as Protected, Short Spear of the same grade (but lose Melee Expert if dismounted). The Barricades characteristic may be replaced with the Obstacles characteristic. Historical Notes This list covers the overseas English armies of the Hundred Years war including the eras of the battle of Moflaix, Crecy and Poitiers. The main power of the army was the longbowmen throughout this period, where most levied troops were competent and strong with the weapon. In the later battles there were numerous long standing veterans in the army. Longbowmen armed themselves with a range of melee weapons including twohanded swords, justifying an option for melee expert; and many have quality quilted protection. During this period the armies were used defensively with the bowmen often deployed behind ditches (Crecy) or hedges (Poitiers) so we allow the Barricades option to relfect this more static way of fighting. English knights were not as highly regarded as their European equivalents. Foot menatarms were mainly armed for general melee rather than keeping mounted at bay so we classify them as 2HC&C for the right overall effect in general melee. Hobilars were general cavalry armed with a short spear of varying standards but appeared in large numbers at the beginning of the campaigns. Changes from last version Clarified mixedtugs. MenatArms dismountable.

SPECIAL RULE: Genoese crossbowmen may shoot whilst claiming shield cover. This rule must be notified to your opponent before the start of the game. Historical Notes This list covers the French armies of the 100 Years War covering the eras of the battle of Moflaix, Crecy, Poitiers and Agincourt. Troop Notes The main power of the army was a powerful knight charge with infantry playing a supporting role. Genoese crossbowmen carried large light shields strapped to their backs. When reloading to shoot they turned their backs on the enemy. This is treated as shield cover but provides for the special rule of being able to shoot. Ribauds represent a range of peasantry and followers mainly useful for capturing or killing enemy wounded. Brigans were types more capable of handtohand combat. After the Treaty of Arras in 1435 the French were more united in wishing to expel the English, hence the change to Professional generals. Version 1: 31 st August 2017

Historical Notes This list represents the Grand Free Company of the early 1360s which is the only time they field a full battle sized army. It also can form the 40,000 strong "Armagnac" mercenary army of 1444 hired by Charles VII to the Hapsburg Emperor for an invasion of Switzerland. The list can be used form any Free Company force from 1357AD to 1444AD which gathered in various sizes in the employ of medieval leaders in France, Spain and Italy. They tended to form during periods of peace and were comprisesd of otherwise unemployed soldiery from various nations who clustered togetther to find paid mercenary work or just loot the locality.

If stakes are taken, all TuGs must have at least half of the bases so equipped. English MenatArms and Longbowmen may pass through each other in the Movement Phase without causing KaBs on either. Historical Notes The Duchy of Burgundy was annexed by the French throne in During the Hundred Years' War, King John II of France gave the duchy to his youngest son, Philip the Bold, rather than leaving it for his successor on the French throne. The duchy soon became a major rival to the throne, because the Dukes of Burgundy succeeded in assembling an empire stretching from Switzerland to the North Sea, in large part by marriage. The Burgundian territories consisted of a number of fiefdoms on both sides of the (then largely symbolic) border between the Kingdom of France and the Holy Roman Empire. Its economic heartland was in the Low Countries, particularly Flanders and Brabant. The court was based in Dijon. From 1407 to 1435 the civil war between the House of Orleans (Armagnac faction) and the House of Burgundy helped the English to seize almost half of France. Troop Notes Generals remain Instinctive later than English or French generals. This represents the poorer leadership of Burgundian forces.

24 Notes Changes from last version Middle Swiss * In addition to halberdiers deployed separately, TuGs of 6 may be formed comprising one files of 4 pikemen and 2 halberdiers which can be placed 2 one one side or 1 each either side of the pikemen. The halberdiers can be set back from the front of the TuG in ranks 2,3, or 4. These begin to take the form of early kiels. So with two cards one pair of TuGs move as BLOCK representing a small kiel; and with a Talented general you could do a double small kiel of 4 TuGs together. SPECIAL RULE: Pikemen may not be charged in the flank on a side with a halberdier in position. Even if a side edge of a pikemen is contacted as long as there is a halberdier in the neighbouring file then that enemy fights the Halberdiers frontally instead. This special rule must be notified to the opponent at the start of the game. ** Handgunners can be a separate SuG or up to 2 can be folded into each pike or halberd TuGs by adding "Experienced/Firearm" to those troops. There are two ways to represent this: 1) ideally replace 1 pike or halberd with a handgunner, or 2) to avoid rebasing place a handgunner skirmish base in front of the file containing them. Crossbows and handgunners can be mixed in infantry SuGs if so desired. Historical Notes The Swiss were able to take advantage of the weakness of the Hapsburgs with the Tyrolean line controlling Further Austria from their court at Innsbruck. This allowed the confederacy to grow. Zürich was expelled from the Confederation from 1440 to 1450 due to a conflict over the territory of Toggenburg (the Old Zürich War). The Swiss also extended their influence at the expense of the Duchy of Milan. Troop Notes After 1400 the Swiss used increasing numbers of pikemen in response to the Austrian tactic of dismounting their menatarms. However in 1422 an army still contained less than 1/3 pikemen. The halberdiers both protected the flanks of the pikemen and to join in the melee if the pike column lost momentum. Command was still run by committee, hence no option for a legendary general. Swiss pikemen regraded to. Clarified notes.

Historical Notes This list covers the French armies of the early part of the Ordonnance reforms instigated in In 1446 he had twenty companies. By 1445 the English, having been abandoned by the Burgundians, were fighting a rearguard action in France. By 1450 the French under their capable king Charles VII had reconquered Normandy. By 1453 Bordeaux had been captured and Guyenne was incorporated into France. The 100 Years' War was over.

31 Troop Notes Early French Ordonnance The Ordonnance of 1445 raised 15 companies of 100 lances. A lance comprised 1 menatarms, 1 coustillier and either 3 archers or 2 archers and a valetdeguerre. They were paid both in war and peace and a real attempt made to enforce discipline and avoid living off the land. Coustilliers were more lightly equipped as were valetdeguerre. The archers rode to battle but fought on foot. Crossbowmen and handgunners were used to protect the flanks of the army or skirmish in front of the army. 8,000 francsarchers were first raised by an edict in Every parish had to contribute either a longbowmen or a crossbowmen. They were paid only in wartime, but exempt from taxes during peace. Advances in gunpowder followed the invention of the powdermill in The French developed the largest artillery train in Europe.

The halberdiers can be set back from the front of the TuG in ranks 2,3, or 4. These begin to take the form of early kiels. So with two cards one pair of TuGs move as BLOCK representing a small kiel; and with a Talented general you could do a double small kiel of 4 TuGs together. SPECIAL RULE: Pikemen may not be charged in the flank on a side with a halberdier in position. Even if a side edge of a pikemen is contacted as long as there is a halberdier in the neighbouring file then that enemy fights the Halberdiers frontally instead. This special rule must be notified to the opponent at the start of the game. ** Handgunners can be a separate SuG or up to 2 can be folded into pike or halberd TuGs by adding "Experienced/Firearm" to those troops. There are two ways to represent this: 1) ideally replace 1 pike or halberd with a handgunner, or 2) to avoid rebasing place a handgunner skirmish base in front of the file containing them. Crossbows and handgunners can be mixed in infantry SuGs if so desired.all TuGs with stakes must have at least half of the bases so equipped. Historical Notes Charles VII died in 1461 and was succeeded by Louis XI. Louis was able to isolate Burgundy from Edward IV of England and signed the Treaty of Picquigny in 1475 which officially ended the Hundred Years' War. After the death of Charles the Bold he seized numerous Burgundian territories including Burgundy proper. In 1483 he died and was succceeded by Charles VIII who was only 13 at the time. To secure his rights to the Neapolitan throne that René of Anjou had left to his father, Charles made a series of concessions to neighbouring monarchs and conquered the Italian peninsula without much opposition.

All TuGs with stakes must have at least half of the bases so equipped. Historical Notes This list covers Burgundian armies after the reforms of Charles the Bold until his death at Nancy in Troop Notes The deterioration in the quality of Feudal troops and the unreliability of contingents from the Low Countries led Charles to institute a new regular army using the best troops and ideas from all over Europe. The Ordonnance specified that each gendarme was supported by a coustillier, a valet (unarmed) and three mounted longbowmen. The mounted archers were ordered on occasion to combine with pikes in a mixed formation. Each lance also included a pikemen, a crossbowmen and a handgunner. Campaign records suggest that there was difficulty in obtaining enough missile men and this was made up with extra pikemen. Clarified notes and mixed formations. Added household and feudal knights and skirmishing mounted crossbowmen.

It also includes the League of the Graubünden (Grisons), who fought in alliance with the Swiss (and in Swiss style) during the Swabian War, of With their series of victories against the Burgundians, the Swiss developed a fearsome reputation that altered the nature of warfare over the next century.

Historical Notes Mary of Burgundy inherited the Duchy on the death of Charles the Bold. Louis XI of France wanted her to marry his son (the sixyear old who was later to become Charles VIII) but the terms were unacceptable. Mary had to sign a charter of rights for the Low Countries, weakening the power of the Duchy. Mary chose to marry Archduke Maximilian of Austria at the end of 1477, a choice that would initiate two centuries of contention between France and the Hapsburgs and ultimately end in the War of the Spanish Succession in 1701 to Mary was succeeded by her son Philip who became Philip I of Castille through marriage. Troop Notes The army based on the provisions of the Ordonanace continued but the bulk of the army consisted of mercenary pikemen. Changes from last version Clarified notes and mixed formations.
