French Huguenot

[spring]

Wondering whether there will be any pure sup shot in this army.
For what it's worth, Gush list had many B shooting troops which
could be equivalent to sup troops.

I like Henry of Navarre and pluderhosen

aaaww, well ok, thanks for the reply.

Spring, if you are playing in book, anything without Pike is going to get rolled over by all those Gendarmes, VERY, VERY quickly.

Which army list book will the Huguenot list appearing in?
Will the Huguenot army be competitive?
Are there any Beta lists out there at the moment?
Who makes a good range of figures for the French Wars of religion? How close are the late period figures to the Thirty Years Wars figures?

Old Glory Miniatures has a Wars of Religion 1550-1600 line in 28mm. Not bad and cheap for 28mm.

How competitive are their Catholic opponents?

aaahh, but that's what i'm trying to figure is there a chance to shot down more units than what i might lose using a heavy shooting army

[rbs]Your pardon, I accidentally edited your post when trying to reply to it. Unfortunately this resulted in my deleting most of it. Sorry.

[timmy1]

Spring, all I will say is, despite my affinity with the Huguenots, if you want to try a Hugenot army with MF, Superior, Arquebus shot BGs without Pike, I will take the army of Guise and the Leaguers. Gendarmes, Superior Swiss, and Artillery, plus mixed foot BG of Landesnequets looks a better bet to me.

Less so out of period.

The Huguenots get lots of commanded shot.

Which, if used historically, should prevent them from being ridden down. Unless anything goes wrong.

What could possibly go wrong?

[timmy1]

Richard is correct, I should have added UNLESS they are commanded shot mixed with mounted.

[spring]

I've never seen any beta list for this period and my fog:renaissance gaming experience is rather...slim, so
i'm going to take your words and gather some informations about the Duc of Guise ^^as a possible tenth?
painting project
Of course a Huguenot version with lot of commanded shot migth still be fun to use. Anyway anything is good
to put pluderhosen troops on the table!

How are Hugenot horse classed?

Lance-armed Gendarmes before 1577, Cuirassiers from 1577. (Horse, Superior, Heavily Armoured, Impact Pistol, Melee Pistol).

The commanded shot are also only from 1577.

Hum, even with many commanded shot available, i'm not sure you're going to use that many with such pricey
troops (Cuirassiers, sup...)

Pricey? 16 points? Pretty cheap compared with Cavaliers and Determined Horse. (Polish winged hussars are 23 points a go).

[spring]

Oh 16pts, i was thinking determined horse with there 21pts^^, that gives room for a good amount of
supported horses then. Still they won't get the same use as mass shooting infantry units, we''ll see
what wi'll be supported horses best use when used en masse.
