Today by doing a bit of morphing with my 6mm Italian War figures and my War of the Roses figures I created a Swiss army IV/79C and Burgundian Ordnance army IV/85A. The Burgundians took the L/H option over the artillery or Knights.
I played Swiss and my solo system handled the Burgundians.
As the title says the Swiss should have kept to making clocks! I was slaughtered 6 elements to nil.
shot to pieces by the longbows and then ridden down by the knight elements. Even halberds blown away by cannon fire,
So much for the mighty Swiss. No wonder they all became neutral!

No wonder they all became neutral! Unfortunately Cromwell DBA does not cover a few essential qualities the Swiss had over the Burgundians....Quality,ability, training, numbers and almost always complete suprise.Its well known that Pikes are a broken element in DBA 3.0. Funny enough I used to play Late Swiss against Burgundian Ordonnance and Early Burgundians at 1,500 and 2,000 point levels with the WRG 6th and later 7th edition rules and never lost a battle!...Once impetuous nothing was going to stop the avalanche!lol |

Have a loo at Mortem et Glorium or Renatio et Gloriam (not sure which one coverts those periods as it's not my thing), it's a set of rules that aims to bring out the flavour of individual armies. |

Renatio et Gloriam is the Renaissance set . There also DBR which can be played at 100 pts , so won't be much bigger than DBA . Art De La Guerre could also be used at 100 pts . |

There is smaller version of MeG called Pacto - armies aren't much bigger than DBA. |
