The term Robber Knight is actually not mediaval, but from teh late 18th century. But if it had been in use in 1399, Hartmut the Younger of Kronberg would have fit the bill well. From the Tannenburg castle in the Odenwald forest he terrorized the surrounding lands and disturbed the trade along the Alte Bergstraße road. The authorities organized a punitive expedition ( euphemistically named the “Landfriedensheer” – the “Public Peace Army”). WIth heavy-calibre firepower, they smoked out the robber knights.

Spieltrieb Frankfurt presents medieval battles at the gates of Burg Tannenberg, using Impetus rules.

With the release of Warhammer 40.000’s 6th edition not even a year behind, we felt that the new rules deserve to be displayed on this years Tactica. Because of this, we once again tried to create satisfying scenarios for both experienced Veterans and interested newcomers that still manage to deliver the Warhammer 40.000 experience in a reasonable time frame. The games are going to take place on one of the rare Science-Fiction gameboards by Wolfgang Jädtke and there will be plenty of the 40th millenium’s factions available for battle. If you wish to bring you own miniatures to play with you are welcome to do so and we are happy to give you the chance to play a game between the official presentation matches.
