The Peter Pig Condottieri range (defunct)

[PeteW]

These have yet again been repurposed. The figures shown are the pikemen from the range who have now started to do service as Romandioli pikemen for a new set of rules: Control to Catastrophe: Maximilian. These are a set of gridded rules roughly covering the period 1490 to 1700, although I have bought them to invigorate my Italian Wars figures, which have lain dormant ever since I arrived in the Netherlands

Looking very good, do love a good push of pike

It is a shame that PP does not produce an Italian Wars range. Of all war games figures from any war or period Italian Wars is my favourite and I know Martin would do an excellent job. However I do understand the reasons why Martin is not going to do them.
So if Martin is not to be persuaded by the Italian Wars where should he go next. What war or historical era should Martin plunder? Whither the Pig? My vote would be the Crusades.

An RFCM wishlist crops up from time to time on this forum. I've always had a hankering for the French Indian Wars or the War of 1812.

It's always fun to hear what is on other people's list, but as ever with the things, time, money, interest and  probably a dozen other factors prevent most from coming to anything.

Currently I can put on 19 different RFCM games with just fantasy and sci fi missing. But, we always want more!

In fact having thought about this, I might look at developing an article for the Mill to play the FRench Indian War using a current RFCM rule set. A variant of Vietnam or Patrols in the Sudan would be my first thought.

I think Derek was working on adapting Washington's Army for the French Indian Wars.

I hope the varied systems of RFCM can be adapted for many if not most wars.
RFCM has about 7 very different (ie major concepts) systems.

Gamble until done= Vietnam, PITS, Longships
Doubles= TCR, Medieval
Vary number of D6, not scores= PBI
Restricted option Cards= HI
Accumulated D6 fights= CK
Table regions= BB
Small table = Land raids
Wounded  and prizes= Western
Compulsory army basics= FM, SCW
Limited orders= Abteilung
Victory on scenery ownership= AK
System of 3s= PITS

etc.



French and Indian wars would suit PITS I think?

Most missions would be regular troops of either side  doing something.
The Indians and associated troops would be the Dervish.
An easy conversion (possibly).

If Peter Pig did this, then a range of figures would be needed because we always support the rule sets.

To be honest anything to do with America "Indians" would be suited to Pits !
Why not explore the Wild West side of this option as there is a PP range already !
Then it would be possibly easier to adopt the rules to suit ?
