Elsewhere on this Fine Forum is a fun little campaign set during the Italian Wars, and I suggest you look it up it's all about getting rich.
Anyway, a key part of that conflict, and many others, was sieges, and I was wondering how people have gamed seiges?
How do you balance the time frame of many of them lasting months?
Many ending not in an assault but gradual deprecation of people.
Ground scale?
Inclusion of seige works and engines?
Thank you all.

Hi turniptom, I remember that there are some very nice siege rules by Cromwell here on the forum (must be here in the house rules)–try the search...  Cheers! Brian |

...there are rules for siege. But the time for a battle differs from that time for a siege. Under DBM there were permanent fortifications that could be destroyed. Using Chris Peers rules you could burn down wooden forts by setting fire. But you need specialists to do it. And that is an other game - skirmish maybe...

Found it, copied it into a document for printing, now pondering what I can use as a castle for my flat cardboard armies. Want to be a named leader in my WotR campaign? Got any affinity to any of the other counties bar Yorkshire and Lancashire? |

Ask Cromwell, he did all the work and playtesting etc. Cheers BTW, concerning castles, what scale are your cardboard armies? |

I mean there are plenty of commands to go around.
Do you have a particular link to any specific county?
At the moment my cardboard armies have the thickness of sign board card stock. Think something like NATO symbols on card.
If you've a birds eye view of the castle walls etc or maybe something 3D but with wall depth of around... well a DBA based depth then that'd be fab thank you.

A short while ago I made these walls. |
