"The War of the Roses always has been an interest of mine, but I have not really found a set of Rules that reflect the combat of the period. Recently I had David Knight one of the authors of the new Test of Resolve rules visit and he bought along his rules. We played 8 games over two days plus visited the Mad War chateaux and the battlefield of Saint Aubin du Cormier in Brittany…"

I played it a couple times at Hcon I found those games fun and pretty easy to pick up. One GM thought that they were a Beer and Pretzel set of rules, I did not get a chance to ask him to elaborate. It did strike me that it was pricey and you don't need the cards, but you do, and there also not cheap. |

The cards are free in the back of the rule book. I played at Historicon too. I had such a great time. So much so, I bought the rules (and the fancy cards) and some Perry minis! |

I purchased the rules and read through them. They seem fairly simple and straight forward, I don't necessarily think that means they are light on the WotR flavor however. From what I understand the author knows a bit about the subject and I like how he handles longbowmen. They begin the battle by unloading their arrows and when they are done shooting they form up as secondary troops to support the scrum. I don't have armies yet but I think I will tackle this in 15mm (although Baccus 6mm range is also appealing). |

I saw Mark Fastoso did a video or two on these rules. I liked the videos checked into buying the rules. They were not cheap. I just looked again and saw no pdf only bundle. EDIT. Looks like they do have pdf's. Checking it out now! Thanks John |
