    Pauli's not the name of the thesis's writer, but this guy here https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Wolfgang_Pauli. I was referring to one of his quotes; once upon reading a paper he famously commented "This isn't even wrong...".

    Where are all the Balkan units and Stradioti? Or will those be AoR in campaign?

    I'm not sure if they don't already have them but would it be possible to give the late venetian Signori some Venetian Great Bascinets? https://myarmoury.com/talk/files/venetian-c1400_160.jpg

    I think you should remove from venetian (and italian) late units gambesons and mail coifs: i've never seen a primary source showing an italian Xv century soldier wearing those two elements.

    Map of Venice at 1500. You can zoom all the way in to their bedroom. Neat stuff.

    Thorolf was thus armed. Then Thorolf became so furious that he cast his shield on his back, and, grasping his halberd with both hands, bounded forward dealing cut and thrust on either side. Men sprang away from him both ways, but he slew many. Thus he cleared the way forward to earl Hring's standard, and then nothing could stop him. He slew the man who bore the earl's standard, and cut down the standard-pole. After that he lunged with his halberd at the earl's breast, driving it right through mail and body, so that it came out at the shoulders; and he lifted him up on the halberd over his head, and planted the butt-end in the ground. There on the weapon the earl breathed out his life in sight of all, both friends and foes. [...] 53, Egil's Saga
    I must tell you here of some amusing tricks the Comte d'Eu played on us. I had made a sort of house for myself in which my knights and I used to eat, sitting so as to get the light from the door, which, as it happened, faced the Comte d'Eu's quarters. The count, who was a very ingenious fellow, had rigged up a miniature ballistic machine with which he could throw stones into my tent. He would watch us as we were having our meal, adjust his machine to suit the length of our table, and then let fly at us, breaking our pots and glasses.
