 THIS SUPPLEMENT
This booklet is a free supplement for Lords&Servants skirmish rules by Dadi&Piombo.
and it has been adapted to the second edition of the rules released in 2018.
Lords&Servants is a game system designed to recreate skirmish games with 28, 20 or
15mm miniatures. It covers the Medieval period and it shares the mechanics of our
popular system Smooth&Rifled.
In this supplement you will find all the information that you need to create your
games set in the XV Century Italy, from simple clashes involving a few men per side to
bigger encounters with 60-80 miniatures per side, ideal for multiplayer games.
You can field a generic Condottieri force or a force at a service of a specific Italian
City-State, the most powerful being Milan, Venice, Florence, Naples and Papal States.

MIniatures by Venexia, painted by Yuri Vantin.

BUILDING YOUR FORCE

Command Groups can be used only with the Large Format.

Any army can field Artillery, please refer to the rulebook for costs.

Figures with LV2 (eg a Man at Arms) or more can be paid for as their Unit and
attached to another Unit as a higher leader.

No more than 50% of the Unit can be armed with a 2 handed weapon.
A 2 handed weapon cannot be used while mounted.
Figures with LV=2 ore more pay and use Sword as Nobles.
Lance if used on foot becomes a Long Spear. You can always change the melee
weapon of a figure according to the miniature you use. Please refer to the point
system for adjustments.

Lists give minima and maxima for each Unit (eg 0-2) . This applies only to Large
Format. If you play with more than 1000 pts you can double the maxima.
