Yarkshire Gamer Italian Wars - Furioso Rules Update

[@peterschief9778]

I love your channel and listen to the podcast. It would be great if you had a couple of Italian wars big gamers on the podcast. You could discuss everything from army construction, painting, game arrangements, rules and tips and tricks. Cheers

[@YarkshireGamer]

@peterschief9778 cheers, the episode with Martyn Kelly covered quite a bit of that sort of stuff, I've been looking for a suitable Historian for that type of show for a while now but not got one. Martyn is doing a big Pavia game this year so I might ask him to come back on when it's done

Excellent. Thank you

[@YarkshireGamer]

Many thanks 👍

Nice to see someone else with airbrush black primer thumb! Great video - thanks.

Huge fan of what you put out and your comment about “if you ask where you measuring from, we aren’t playing together” was so excellent. Cheers.

[@YarkshireGamer]

Cheers nick, I'm glad you got what I was saying 😅

Just wanted to support you and say I APPRECIATE your music to your channel. Easy on ears, soothing vs heavy metal. You Got your audience right. Also nice video

[@YarkshireGamer]

@thekrausecollection15mmmin53 many thanks, the music is the theme tune to "The last of the summer wine" which was a very long running comedy show set in Yorkshire 👍

[@theenigmaticgamer]

Very interesting video Ken. Your guidance on basing is particularly useful. Lovely looking figures and short videos on troop types would be very welcome.

[@YarkshireGamer]

@@theenigmaticgamer there will be a series of Italian Wars videos coming soon

[@philRminiatures]

Some gorgeous units...and bases here, another big like to your awesome channel!

[@YarkshireGamer]

@philRminiatures thanks very much Phil 😀

[@raycarpenter6466]

Great video 😊 Your sentiments on basing and the look of the game are my own.. It's a very visual hobby and that has always been my first objective .. Have only played the rules a couple of times solo but they seem to have a good feel to them .. Any articles / videos on the Italian Wars are much appreciated and an excuse to see Your colourful collection ! Cheers ...

[@YarkshireGamer]

@raycarpenter6466 thanks Ray, more coming soon 👍

[@CullodenPaintingStudio]

Enjoyed hearing your basing manifesto. Makes loads of sense to keep things with the same frontage and protecting models with deeper bases should be the norm! Please do some videos on unit types.

[@markanderson8188]

Great video. Would like to see the QRS as this game needs one. Several of the ideas are interesting.

[@YarkshireGamer]

Many thanks 👍

Currently working on the rules to add an eastern European flavour... i will let you know ow it goes, great video btw

[@bishop2k7]

Very nice. What are some good books to get a feel for this period? Also, I’d love a video on unit types.

[@YarkshireGamer]

@bishop2k7 cheers, there's series coming on the Italian Wars 👍 As for books I always recommend Omans history's as a good starting point, the last book on the Middle Ages and the 16th century one. Then I'd go for the Helion Series. I'll do a video on that as well

[@bishop2k7]

@@YarkshireGamer Between Project Gutenberg and my local library's ebook app, I was able to track down both the Oman books. Also bought the Furioso rules. So there is my reading list sorted for a while!

[@YarkshireGamer]

@bishop2k7 nice one 👍

[@Atheling100]

Great stuff 😎

[@YarkshireGamer]

@@Atheling100 cheers mate 👍

[@peterschief9778]

If they also gamed WW2. You’d have a bigger audience for that podcast. I would be listening and taking notes on both. Cheers, best wishes and keep up the excellent work.

[@YarkshireGamer]

@peterschief9778 cheers, I let other Podcasts do popular stuff, I go for 2 hours on making paint brushes or the History of the Papal Zouaves 😆

[@martynkelly6918]

Once I have completed Pavia using P&S rules, I will have a bit more time. So I will probably come back to Furioso. The main things that puts me off is that my figures are all individually mounted and put on unit movement trays. I don't want to have to get multiple movement trays for a unit. I am sure there is a way around it, but I will need to have a think about it.

[@YarkshireGamer]

I suppose you would just have to designate a unit as a number of bases

[@StephenDanes]

Hi Guys, really enjoyed your review, very interesting. Glad you like the rules. Not sure if it is your thing but have you tried the ECW version of Furioso? It's a more developed system and probably easier to follow especially if you have played the Italian Wars version.

[@YarkshireGamer]

@StephenDanes many thanks, I haven't tried the ECW version but that's only because the group I play with tend to stick with rule sets for a long time and we are using an amended version of Forlorn Hope at the moment, by moment I mean last 25 years 😄

[@StephenDanes]

Excellent stuff - serious commitment!

[@georgeanderson6349]

Couple of things I’ll look at there Ken. You once thought of giving commands a dice for BIG games rather than units, ever do it?

[@YarkshireGamer]

Hi, we never did, as we have played the rules quite a bit now we found that we rattled through the moves (with a couple of thousand) figures without the need to speed it up. I think it would work if there were fewer players handling a lot of figures, but that's not been an issue for us

[@martinradcliffe4798]

Could'nt agree more about basing agnosticism(!). Never quite shaken the feeling that basing is a bit of a con.

[@YarkshireGamer]

@@martinradcliffe4798 get units how you want them to look and bend the rules to fit 👍

[@martinradcliffe4798]

@@YarkshireGamer Exactly- wargaming is a highly visual thing.
