gets medieval.
Lion Rampant, the latest release from Osprey Wargames, is in stock at North Star's webpage now.
In the author's words:
Take Robin Hood, Richard the Lionheart, Gamelyn, William Wallace, and other legends from the colorful, dangerous medieval period to the tabletop with Lion Rampant – a new set of rules designed for fighting medieval skirmish games. Ideal for players who wish to collect medieval miniatures and paint the pageantry without wanting to muster huge forces or spend time learning complex rules. This game allows to play Crusader Miniatures Medievals to game actual historical battles – or to delve into the archives of Hollywood to embark on more over-the-top Pulp-style clashes.
The author, Dan Mersey, also gives a lowdown on his blog.
We are not making any North Star figures for this book. The previous five Osprey Wargames publications have had a licensed miniatures range to go with them. Lion Rampant is a larger scale skirmish game compared to the other titles, and it didn't fit into the starter-army-boxed-set-style like the others, so we gave it a miss. We also realized we have plenty of figures to offer anyway, such as Fireforge Games plastics (see here) and Crusader Miniatures Medievals (see here).
I'm planning to add some Lion Rampant army deals using Crusader Miniatures soon. To keep informed of these and other new releases, sign-up to our newsletter and follow us on Facebook.
