  • ASTRA MILITARUM SOLDIERS of the IMPERIUM These Datasheets Allow You to Fight Apocalypse Battles with Your Astra Militarum Miniatures
    ASTRA MILITARUM SOLDIERS OF THE IMPERIUM These datasheets allow you to fight Apocalypse battles with your Astra Militarum miniatures. Each datasheet includes the characteristics profiles of the unit it describes, as well as any wargear and special abilities it may have. KEYWORDS Throughout these datasheets you will come across the <Regiment> keyword. This is shorthand for a keyword of your choosing, as described below. <REGIMENT> Most Astra Militarum units are drawn from a regiment. Some datasheets specify which regiment the unit is drawn from (e.g. Mukaali Riders have the Tallarn keyword, so are drawn from the Tallarn Regiment), but where a datasheet does not, it will have the <Regiment> keyword. When you include such a unit in your army, you must nominate which regiment that unit is from. You then simply replace the <Regiment> keyword in every instance on that unit’s datasheet with the name of your chosen regiment. For example, if you were to include an Atlas Recovery Tank in your army, and you decided it was from Vostroya, its <Regiment> Faction keyword is changed to Vostroyan and its Recovery Vehicle ability would then read: ‘At the end of the Action phase, this unit can to repair one friendly Vostroyan Vehicle unit in base contact with it. If it does, remove one damage marker from that Vehicle unit. Only one attempt to repair each unit can be made each turn.’ ATLAS RECOVERY TANK 5 An Atlas Recovery Tank is a unit that contains 1 model.

  • Gunpowder on MYSTARA Unpowder-Using Siege Weapons-Is a Novelty in the Known World Since 1014 AC
    Gunpowder on MYSTARA unpowder-using siege weapons-is a novelty in the Known World since 1014 AC. An obscure Cleric from the Heldannic Order, Brother Berthold Schwartz of Freiburg (now deceased), claimed to be the inventor of gunpowder. That can’t be Gprov ed since it appeared in various areas almost at the same time. Of course, this is reason enough for the kindly Heldannic bunch to feel that all the other nations have no right to use this holy weapon sent by Vanya. It would seem that gunpowder is a byproduct of the Great War between Thyatis and Alphatia. he nations that have access to gunpowder could be Thyatis, Karameikos, the Heldannic Knights, Darokin, Rockhome, and faraway Ochalea. Glantri, of course, would probably seek to have every speck of this despicable, non-magical (as Tthey see it) filth scoured from the surface of Mystara (“Peh! There isn’t enough of this evil powder in King Stefen’s Mad Mary to rival our Glantrian fireballs!“). Between these two extremes lie the “have-nots.” Some don’t really care or aren’t wealthy enough for this kind of novelty (like Ierendi, Minrothad Guilds, Aengmor, Five Shires, Ethengar, Northern Reaches, Ylaruam, and Wendar), but might be able to acquire it if needed. A host of others are frothing at the mouth for the skills and secrets necessary to create the precious gunpowder and the weapons that utilize it. In the latter group would fall all Humanoids, Hule, and most of the Isle of Dawn nations. None of them would be above kidnapping, blackmail, and other treachery to acquire what they want.

  • A Late Medieval Or Early Modern Light Gun Barrel from the Castle Museum in Malbork—Typology, Technology of Manufacture and Identification of the Smelting Process
    Archaeological and Anthropological Sciences (2019) 11:2007–2026 https://doi.org/10.1007/s12520-018-0653-3 ORIGINAL PAPER A late medieval or early modern light gun barrel from the Castle Museum in Malbork—typology, technology of manufacture and identification of the smelting process Grzegorz Żabiński1 & Mateusz Biborski2 & Ewelina A. Miśta-Jakubowska3 Received: 9 February 2018 /Accepted: 3 May 2018 /Published online: 18 May 2018 # The Author(s) 2018 Abstract The paper discusses a gun barrel of a possibly late 15th-early 16th c. date from the collection of the Castle Museum in Malbork (Marienburg), Poland (MZM/468/MT). The barrel was originally part of a hand-held gun (a hackbut?) and was later converted into a light cannon. The barrel was made from unevenly carburised soft steel (c. 0.1–0.2% C). Both metallographic examinations and the analysis of slag inclusions with the use of multivariate statistics suggest that the metal in the barrel was manufactured using the direct (bloomery) smelting process. Keywords 15th–16th c. Military . Light artillery . Hand-held firearms . Hackbut . Castle Museum in Malbork . Archaeometallurgy . Archaeometry . Slag inclusion analysis . Multivariate statistics Introduction It is generally assumed that iron barrels of hand-held firearms were made by forge-welding one or several iron pieces on an iron The aim of this paper is to discuss an iron light cannon barrel core.

  • Orléans 1429
    Orléans 1429 1.1 The Bombard 1.1.1 Operation A single bombard cannot batter more than one hex per day. It can batter different hexes on different days. In a single day, several engines can either batter different hexes or they can combine their Battering Points together against one hex. A bombard is worth 5 Battering Points. 1.1.2 Tactical operation A bombard can fire once every 5 turns, in the same sequence as crossbows (still totally unrealistic as the real frequency was 2 per hour, but this is for better game play). 5 servants including one engineer are necessary to operate the bombard in a tactical game: They must be adjacent to the bombard and perform no other actions for 5 turns to operate it (historically, the crew was between 10 and 20). Note: Use markers from VIKINGS numbered 1 through 5 to keep track of each turn while the bombard is reloading. 1.1.2.1 Movement A bombard cannot be moved. 1.1.2.2 Fire restrictions Firing through an hex with a bombard is not allowed. 1.1.2.3 Movement restrictions Moving through an hex with a bombard is not allowed. 1.1.3 Resolving fire The range of a bombard is 110 hexes. The actual hex where the stone will land is within a 2-hex radius of the targeted hex due to the poor accuracy of the engine. Roll 2D10 to locate the impact hex where the stone landed (which very likely will be different from your target hex). Arrows indicate the direction of the missile, whether the line of fire crosses a hex side or a hex angle.

  • The Death of the Knight
    Academic Forum 21 2003-04 The Death of the Knight: Changes in Military Weaponry during the Tudor Period David Schwope, Graduate Assistant, Department of English and Foreign Languages Abstract The Tudor period was a time of great change; not only was the Renaissance a time of new philosophy, literature, and art, but it was a time of technological innovation as well. Henry VII took the throne of England in typical medieval style at Bosworth Field: mounted knights in chivalric combat, much like those depicted in Malory’s just published Le Morte D’Arthur. By the end of Elizabeth’s reign, warfare had become dominated by muskets and cannons. This shift in war tactics was the result of great movements towards the use of projectile weapons, including the longbow, crossbow, and early firearms. Firearms developed in intermittent bursts; each new innovation rendered the previous class of firearm obsolete. The medieval knight was unable to compete with the new technology, and in the course of a century faded into obsolescence, only to live in the hearts, minds, and literature of the people. 131 Academic Forum 21 2003-04 In the history of warfare and other man-vs.-man conflicts, often it has been as much the weaponry of the combatants as the number and tactics of the opposing sides that determined the victor, and in some cases few defeated many solely because of their battlefield armaments. Ages of history are named after technological developments: the Stone Age, Bronze Age, and Iron Age. Our military machine today is comprised of multi-million dollar airplanes that drop million dollar smart bombs and tanks that blast holes in buildings and other tanks with depleted uranium projectiles, but the heart of every modern military force is the individual infantryman with his individual weapon.

  • The Story of General Pershing
    The Story of General Pershing By Everett T. Tomlinson THE STORY OF GENERAL PERSHING CHAPTER I A HISTORIC MOMENT THE morning of June 13, 1917, was one of the historic mornings in the history of the world. On the landing dock at Boulogne, France, a detachment of French infantry was drawn up in line. The men were clad in the uniform of battle. Their faces confirmed the report that recently they had seen hard service in the trenches—as they had. Not a young soldier was in the lines—they were all middle-aged men, perhaps made older by the fearful experiences through which they recently had passed. This morning, however, there was an air of eagerness and expectancy in the expressions on their faces; and the eyes of all, with an intentness that was at once pathetic and tragic, were watching a boat that was drawing near the landing stage. In the assembly on the dock an observer would have seen certain of the great men of France. There were Brigadier General Pelletier; René Bernard, Under Secretary of State for War; General Dumas; General Dupon, representing General Petain; and the military governor of Boulogne. Representatives of other nations and forces also were in the midst of the eager throng. There, too, were Sir George Fowke, representing General Sir Douglas Haig; and Captain Boyd, Military Attaché of the American War Department. Men, resplendent in their uniforms and decorations, who represented the British and French navies, also were in the assembly, all as deeply interested as were their military comrades. The nearby streets were filled with people waiting and subdued, and yet in a state of mind that at any moment would have carried the great assembly into the wildest enthusiasm.

    TRIAL RULES BOMBARD & MANGONEL This is the first in a series of trial rules for the Warmaster game. That doesn’t mean we’ve just made it all up on the spur of the moment… far from it… but it does mean we haven’t played and tested the rules to the extent that we’d like. Rules will remain ‘trial’ rules until the Warmaster design team is good and happy with them. If you’re going to use trial rules in your games agree to do so beforehand with your opponent – but please DO use them! If you use a bombard for example! In the case of Orcs them – and if you have comments about them we’ll assume that the odd bombard is captured – by all means pass your comments on to us. along with a supply of powder, and in the case This will help us to build up a picture of how of the Bretonnians we’ll have to take it that the rules work in as broad a context as common sense prevails over their usual possible.

The invention and spread of gunpowder technology is a case study in technological diffusion and one that had profound effects on human society. For some historians, the appearance of firearms marks the beginning of the modern era because it had a huge impact on the direction of human history. Students need to understand the nature of this innovation, its military and civilian applications, and the profound changes that political leaders’ use of it brought about. From a world historical perspective, it is important to widen the lens from a traditionally narrow focus on events in Europe related to this new technology to take in the consequences for peoples and societies around the world.
