I agree but I would push the time up to 1850 or so. Rifled weapons wouldn’t suit TW at all. Once firepower is lethal enough to inhibit mounted cavalry action, a popular aspect of the games will disappear. Anything up to the mid 19th century might work. Massed rifled musketry is the end of the line for shock. Smooth bore muskets still permit charges and melee. I’d like to see the 30 Years War, ECW era.

Wouldn't it be fun to assault or defend a Vauban style fortress using TW? How cool would that be?

Of course, an updated Shogun could never fail to please.
