Broadsword

Wargame rules for medieval battles with 11 scenarios. Includes rules covering formation, movement, missile and melee combat, leaders, etc. These rules are a spin-off from Royal Armies of the Hyborean Age (by Lin Carter and Scott Bizar) which embody a functional combination of systems that lead to a playable and accurate simulation of medieval warfare when played without magic. Although these rules borrow heavily from Royal Armies, they include significant modifications which reflect more authentically the flavor of medieval warfare.

The eleven scenarios are:

Battle of Civitate, 1053

Battle of Stamford Bridge, 1066

Battle of Hastings, 1066

Battle of Manzikert, 1071

Battle of Ascalon, 1099

Battle of Legnano, 1176
