Armor and Weapons: Dark Age and Rennaisance games

Perfect! I've been wanting to do a Rennaisance style battle in Ireland set in the winter and I got it! As well, the forces in this include a Spanish army, so my Conquistodors can come out to play.

Should be interesting to see how a battle looks with Pike, shot, crossbows and archers.
