I have put a few Milanese Condotta challenges on the system to get some practice for a campaign game that is starting soon. I am not interested in fighting the Swiss thank you very much - I have had three Swiss armies sent against me in the last few days. Neither am I interested in fighting in a desert - Milan is in northern italy (Switzerland is also close by), if you didn't already know and it has grass and trees there. Needless to say I will resign straight out of these sort of games if they keep re-appearing. Thank you.

You could post your challenges in the Historical D.A.G. Games thread where this is a house rule. Also, this is something they should sort out in a future update (if there's any sense left in the world).

Yes, fair point, Iron_Duke. It is only 3 games at 400, 600 and 800 points just to get my bearings with possible army selections. And yes, I hope this is sorted out in the new version. There is just no point the condotta fighting the Swiss - the Condotta cavalry would quickly be shattered by their pikemen.

In the meantime, there is a desert in northern Italy - you could pretend you're fighting there, lol: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Accona_Desert

Pah! Tuscany is nowhere near Milan!

How about...the Milanese and the Pope have fallen out. Milan sends an army south but the Pope hires a Swiss mercenary army to intercept them. The armies meet at the Accona desert...

Yes, that might work. The area looks very beautiful, I must say. The building is 14thC . . .

Yes. I agree with your sentiments on deserts, anyway - I'm just trying to ease your pain!
