Hi, I am looking at getting back into the period, my previous foray was Warhammer Ancient Battles (Chivalry book), I know I am looking at pitched battles as opposed to a skirmish, but beyond that I am undecided.
on't know if it is relevant but the armies I have are for the Northern Crusades. Thanks

Deus Vult from Fireforge. |

Vows of Iron was just recently released. Good, fast moving game. Day of Battle is another that has a roleplay element to it. Great for long campaigns where you want to develop your leader. |

I use Lion Rampant for skirmishes and Hail Caesar for pitched battles  |

I game the Northern Crusades too – I tend to use Lion Rampant for big skirmishes, Sword and Spear for bigger bashes. Day of Battle, mentioned above, is very interesting, unfortunately it requires a bit more investment on the part of the players for me to have been able to get my clubmates to give it a proper go. |

Saga for Skirmish and Flower of Chivalry for mass battles. |

Another +1 for Vows of Iron. |

I switched from WAB to Impetus, I find it works very well, large battles done in two hours, and a WAB army rebases easily
cheers

Impetus for me too. But Soldiers of God and Deus Vult are written particularly for this era. |

Our group plays Armati 2. If you are looking for pitched battles this works very well for that. |

Bear Yourselves Valiantly works well with the medieval period. I also use Band of Brothers by Piquet. |
begins his series on how to paint a 15mm DBA army well, in a reasonable time frame.
