Test of Resolve is a new set of rules (just released May 2021) for miniature wargames set in the era of the Wars of the Roses.
Test of Resolve successfully achieves the following design criteria :
The rules reflect and encourage the nature of warfare in this period.
Games are playable with figure sizes up to 28mm.
Games are able to be completed in an evening — from 1 to less than 3 hours, depending on the scale of the engagement.
Historical scenarios are playable on a 180 x120cm (6' x 4') table with 28mm figures (and, of course, smaller scale ones).
Any historical (or fictitious) scenario has a high degree of replayability.
The rules are very suitable for solo play and for multiplayer gaming.
The gaming experience is fun!
The rules also cover:
Continental & Irish mercenaries
Unreliable Commanders and Identity Confusion
Comprehensive terrain rules, particularly defensive positions, towns & rivers
