Goonhammer Historicals: Introduction to Force of Virtue

For Americans, the year 1492 probably brings to mind a schoolroom ditty about oceans blue, but there was a lot more going on in the world than Columbus “discovering” the New World. Rodrigo Borgia has been elected as Pope Alexander VI and his children and political allies fight their way across Italy, taking what they can at the point of a sword, halberd, or lance. Swiss and German mercenaries (not to mention many other continental nations and city states)...
