  1. Re: A World Gone Mad (The Italian Wars Mod)

    Chapter 9: Ponte Nuovo Part 3


    Chaos. Pure chaos. There was no formation, no strategy. Just fighting. What unraveled in front of Raffael was a symbol of the inexperience on both sides of the...
  2. Re: A World Gone Mad (The Italian Wars Mod)

    Thank you both for your comments!


    There's an interesting little manual from the late 14th century by the (rather famous at that time) master Fiori Dei Liberi where he discribes a situation where...

    Chapter 8: Ponte Nuovo Part 2


    Men crammed into rectangle formations slowly marched towards each other. Crossbowmen, archers and gunners stood on the ramparts that ran along the river, laying...
  4. Re: A World Gone Mad (The Italian Wars Mod)

    Thank you! I've been interested in the more 'zoomed-in' perspective for some time now and wanted to try that out, partly because it hasn't been done. I also wanted to try out writing man-to-man...

    Congratulations to the winners and thanks to the WS stuff (and of course the imps!) for the awards!
  6. Re: Far Have I Travelled (A Sauromatae AAR for EBII) [Updated: 14/02/2022]

    Great first chapters! The writing is immersive and I like your glossaries - thought they have send me more than once now on a search for the remnants in the modern language of some of the words and...
  7. Re: A Peaceful Encounter (short story)

    Hello, nice to see your first contribution, even if your ditched it. In my opinion there's nothing wrong with historical inaccuracies if you think they help your story but if you want to write...

    Little damage had actually been done to city and while the loss of three entire merchant families, some ten noble men and several other members of the gentry was...

  10. Re: A World Gone Mad (The Italian Wars Mod)

    Chapter 6: Mirandola



    Cold air and steam. Steam rose from the warm blood that stuck to Raffael's two-handed hammer in the fresh morning air. Whose blood it was, he did not know nor did he have...
  11. Re: A World Gone Mad (The Italian Wars Mod)

    Thank you for your comments!

    Yes people Forlorn Hope often didn't get very old - or rather stories from that time speak of old people in the Forlorn Hope (they often also were in the first ranks...
  12. Re: Filthy (Skaven AAR) [updated January 23]

    Chapter 5: A new day, a new disappointment



    The night passed as every night eventually does - an ancient rule that is indifferent even to a massacre inside the walls of a monastery. Leaving...
  14. Re: A World Gone Mad (The Italian Wars Mod)

    Thank you both for your comments! As Mark Twain wrote "Against the assault of laughter, nothing can stand" - perfect for a siege! Though I fear Raffael doesn't find the situations he gets into quite...

    Chapter 3: Adversus solem ne loquitor



    Most cities have a large river winding through them, giving room to beautiful promenades, the gurgling of water for young and old to savor or a quick...
  18. Re: A World Gone Mad (The Italian Wars Mod)

    Thank you for your comments. Yes, a ruthless captain can lead to mutiny or perhaps 'beat some respect' into the men. Or anything in between:tongue:
    Iron fist - I didn't actually think about that for...
  19. Re: Old Gods' Last Stronghold (Lithuania SS6.4 AAR) [Updated December 28th]

    Butigeidis approaching end opens up the possibility for both a dramatic and disastrous reign of his follower or a possibility for a new great hero to step up. Let's just hope for the latter for the...

    Chapter 2: The Captain of the Band of the Black Boar



    Incomprehensible. The sight in front of Raffael was utterly incomprehensible. How could people knowing they could be ordered to march at...

    Thank you both Kilo and McScottish for your comments!

    Re: Revenge of the Tyrants. Darkness.

    Only read the first couple of chapters so far and I like it a lot! Looking forward for reading more - or rather trying to catch up with you writing speed. (srsly, how do you write so fast??:laughter:)
  23. Re: Filthy (Skaven AAR) [updated December 11]

    Very intriguing ending, though 'flesh-crafting' sounds a bit sinister - I now imagine some giant abomination they've created from the flesh of their enemies to break done the walls. Its your fault...

  27. Re: A World Gone Mad (The Italian Wars Mod)

    Thank you for your comment! Yes, the late 15th century is an interesting period - gunpowder had already been in use for over a century (think of Crecy) but only really took off in the mid 15th...
  28. Re: Old Gods' Last Stronghold (Lithuania SS6.4 AAR)
