One of the other games to feature at this month's meeting of the Devon Wargames Group, was a 'Never Mind the Billhooks' game recreating events at the Battle of St Albans between the Houses of York and Lancaster.
If you would like to see how our game turned out, just follow the link to the club blog. link JJ |

Thanks for posting that, its good to see WotR figures in mass at any time!
I guess lots of beheadings after that game, as in the original battle? |

Lovely layout, thanks for sharing. I get knackered just walking up Holywell hill, how on earth they did it in armour I don't know.
One thing that puzzles me is once the men at arms (wearing white armour) got stuck into a melee how could they tell who was on which side? |

get knackered just walking up Holywell hill, how on earth they did it in armour I don't know. I don't think the Lancastrians would have walked up Holywell Hill in full armour. Armour was only donned by the men-at-arms after the 3 hours of negotiation had failed. The Yorkists approached the town from Keyfield which is a gentle slope up into the town. |
