French Hundred Years War v Ottoman Turks

In tune with the ‘terrain fare’ policy the terrain layout was decided and all elements placed before the players knew which armies were to be engaged. This policy was very important in a game such as this with the Ottoman army’s strength in missile armed cavalry pitted against the slower French moun...

Romano British v Saxon Game 3

Having corrected my maths in regard to this Romano British v Saxon encounter, which saw the Brits ‘beefed-up’ with an additional general, unit of cavalry, chariots and warrior horde to closely match the Saxon 256 point total it was time for a re-match!

Saxon v Romano British

The Saxon v Romano British games are usually a close affair. The key differences between the armies are the greater mobility of the Brits with their use of cavalry and chariots and slightly stronger infantry hordes, whereas, in comparison, the Saxons have ‘A’ class housecarl units and more ‘B’ class...

Teutonic Order v WOTR Yorkists

Sometimes when you select two opposing armies to a specific points value, and then the terrain over which these armies fight is selected and placed by a third party, this can result in a one sided affair. However, this game was certainly one of the closest fought club games for a long while – the pe...

Hungarian v War of the Roses Yorkist

The layout for this game measured approximately 5 ft x 7.5ft, which would hopefully give the very large cavalry contingents of both armies plenty of room for manoeuvre. The Hungarian medieval army had 10 units of cavalry – 9 heavy plus a single unit of horse archers. The Yorkist army had 8 units of ...

There were now 6 players and not 2 and so the playing area was extended from 6ft x 4ft to 8ft by 6ft, the English tented camp was enlarged and the distance from the Eng...

In this scenario the German force has launched a counter attack lead by a German tank force consisting of 3 Panthers, 2 Stug IV’s and a Tiger. These would appear along 2 parallel ...
