Norman v Romano British Sept 2021 Game 1

Over resent months we’ve pitted these armies against each other resulting in very close and entertaining games. And so, as the club has started to meet every week again as we hopefully leave the restrictions of Covid behind, it seemed appropriate to let the Normans and the Brits ‘slog it out’ a coup...

This was a very symbolic event in that for the first time since February 2020 a group of The Forest Outlaws met at our club venue. Although there were only 10 masked attendees it hopefully heralded the return to some form of normality! We had a brief meeting in which the current covid requirements r...

Mongol v Ottoman Cavalry engagement: game 2

After analysing the previous encounter between these two cavalry armies I re-jigged the battlefield by removing impassable hills small lakes and forests to create a very open battlefield, with gentle slopes and wide plateaus over which both armies could move quickly.

Norman v Romano British

The Norman army in this scenario had 8 units of cavalry, while the Romano-British had 4 plus a unit of chariots. This gave the Normans much greater mobility in exchange for less missile troops and infantry compared to their more numerous opponents which had 6 units of warrior hordes. We let the dice...

H&HM Ottoman v Medieval Korean

These 200 point armies are a good match in that they both have contingent of missile armed cavalry – 6 ‘B’ for the Koreans and 7 ’C’ for the Ottomans which also had 3 more infantry units. The Korean army included 3 units of very expensive bow-armed heavy cavalry which was balanced out by the higher ...

Re: Strip Width

Hi Michael, All the infantry and cavalry bases are 40 x 20 mm and will accommodate 2 strips of infantry or 4 cavalry. The raptor riders and chariots come with 40 x 25mm bases and the bolt shooters 40 x 30mm bases. Some of our customers choose to put less miniatures on each base and therefore spread ...

Re: Suggested future figures

Hi Leman, Thanks for the list of suggested additions to the WWI range. We want to extend the range further to make the range even more comprehensive and if it wasn't for the combined effects of Covid and Brexit we would have made some good progress. But reality is what it is and until we have some s...
