or the philosopher René Descartes who was present as an observer, could have profound effects on the later 17th Century and beyond even if the Revolt still ends in failure.

I’ve never been brave enough to even really consider setting AH during the Thirty Years’ War; there’s always way more going on than I’m aware of and I perennially fear falling into one of the many traps around it.

Having said that, these articles are fantastic and you really have done a great job of breaking down these early stages, and I look forward to more.

Incidentally, thanks for these articles. I knew very little about the 30YW period. Now, I still know very little, but a bit more than I did, and enough to know that there's a huge amount of stuff to know.
