I am going to run a castle siege game at one of my local conventions in February. I have a foam castle that covers over 6 feet or 2 meters. I have loads of Deetail Crusaders and "Turks", 3 siege towers and 2 trebuchets. I had planned to use the Andy Callan rules in the Paperboys Castle Assault book, but I would like to keep the figures on separate bases, to better deal with the assault towers and rampart walkways. I am considering Lion Rampant, but I am wondering if there are any other simple Ancient/Medieval rules out there that suit 54mm miniatures. There will be between 6 and 8 players total. Thanks,

Nick,
As I recall, the Tactica Medieval Rules included skirmish level rules aimed at just that, a castle siege. |

Thanks Nick. I think I have a copy. |

There was a Lion Rampart module in one of the wargaming mags for sieges….I'll see if I can get more deets for oyu. |

Lion Rampant 2e actually works quite well for castle assaults |

Extra Crispy, I found the WI issue. It's August 2017. Thanks for the reminder! |

For something really simple, try the Gold Crown rules from Helen of Toy. They're pretty much AI for solo players. And you'll need a spinner… ;-) TMP link |
