Like other posts, I'm looking for a good set of medieval rules but I have a few specific needs. - I'm looking for one specifically made for or primarily intended for 28mm miniatures
- Not sure there is one this specific but I'm looking for one that covers the late medieval period easily without needing modification.
- I'd like to be able to play most of the battles of the War of the Roses and Italian Wars without needing 1,000s of miniatures. Thanks for any tips. |

Take a look at Day of battle, Medieval warfare, Lion Rampant, Sword and spear. |

Bloody Barons might be very useful for its historical /battle content. it is written just for the WOTR.

To the Strongest will do that. I'm playing a War of the Roses campaign at the moment. |

DBA 3.0 is excellent for late Medieval. I have play tested it in great depth for HYW, WOR, Swiss vs Burgundians and other classic match ups all using 25mm. Check out my book Great Battles of History for DBA 3 for several late medieval scenarios… including Verneuil and Enguingate. link Joe Collins |

I would recommend Hail Caesar Rules. Hope it helps. As always, comments are appreciated. Take care Andy |

"To the Strongest" and "Rampant Lion" are my favorites. |

Lion rampant when I want simple and fun. Poleaxe do 2 when I want something grittier. Bloody Brains mentioned by Peter Pig I wanted to like but struggled to get my head around. |

We play Impetus and I think it was actually designed first to handle battles of this period. We recently did a convention game called Hundred and One Years War where a English War of the Roses army fought a Late French Ordonannce army. Great looking game and a lot of fun too. There was a moment when the French Knights went forward and one could almost hear the thunder of the hooves. The big bases look so good. I would never go back to small base games.

We did A Game of Knights and Knaves specifically for Medieval battles using roughly the DBX engine (though radically re organized and tailored for late medieval battles). Unlike many DBX oriented products we emphasis 28mm (to take advantage of the great plastic figures now flooding the market). The Fire and Ice Expansion covers the War of the Roses in both history and fantasy (Red and White – get it?). The Olde World Expansion covers the Hundred Years War in both history and fantasy. Available through WargamesVault and fully supported. (Demo games at NashCon and Historicon). Thomas J. Thomas
