Shattered Lances


Although this is primarily a set of wargame rules for the period, it is interspersed with fascinating 'titbits' of information from the period. B/W photographs of figures and diagrams are used to illustrate points and tactical details.

The rules have been comprehensively researched and playtested over a long period…

These period-specific rules offer a far more comprehensive flavour of the conflicts, the actual tactics and unique manouevers that made it 'special', than any generic rule system could hope to match.

Achieving this without detracting from the playability or 'fun' of the game is a real tribute to the author. Please note though that they are not a 'five minutes and out with the dice' ruleset. The rules themselves run to 48 pages or so, with army lists from the First Crusade and references taking it to a cool 60 pages in total.

The main principles can be learnt pretty quickly however and after a few games, you will only need the supplied 'quick reference' sheet for much of any game, using the main book for special reference where necessary.
