Nordlingen – A Field of Glory Renaissance Scenario

by

I quite like the idea of playing Nordlingen. This order of battle was from From Slitherine Forum: Nordlingen After Action Report. I have:

  • Translated to the Troop Names in the relevant FOG lists
  • Included the full troop description (rather than just, for example, “2Pk + 4Mq (Average 42 points)”)
  • Aligned the troop descriptions with the FOG lists, e.g. Saxon infantry of the period should have armoured Pikes
  • Formatted using my normal Orbat format
  • Checked the points
